shock absober choice

Jeremy Hughes · Jan 1, 2013

My Disovery failed its MOT on the front shock absober lower bushes. They were shot to say the least. Thought I'd have a go changing them after watching a guy on Youtube giving a demo on how to do it. Now the guy had already loosened all the nuts and was possibly in Florida. I live in Essex with crap all over the nuts/bolts after not being touched for 14 years. So it only took an agonising three hours to undo all the bolts LOL!!! Now I have seen on Ebay new bushes, however the vehicle has done 110K so might aswell change the shocks complete. So my question is what do people recommend as a direct replacement without spending silly money. Also is there any ones I should completely avoid. Thanks in advance Jeremy

I got full set of HD springs n shocks from mm4x4 for £180,super gaz shocks and brit part springs. completely changed my disco i didn't realise how dead my old ones were until i got new ones on and it actually lifted it up like 2", no they weren't 2" lift springs

haha. But yeah its killer to get the bolts off, especially on front shocks i found, i ended up grinding top bolts off.
