terrafirma rear shocks ,,any good?

Hairball · Feb 28, 2015

I need to replace the rubbers on the rear shocks as they are shot and was thinking, As it's likely to be the original shocks fitted to my 95 tdi is it worth changing the whole lot and if so was the terracotta ones any good ..
opinions gratefully received,,

Might be a bit brittle

Terrafirma ones are ok though, although I have to say I've had mine about 18 months and the casings have started to go rusty

I's like some feed back from the knowledgeable folk on here as to what are the best shocks to fit on a 90 without spending stupid money.

I've had Terrafirma on the back of my Discovery II for a few years now and they've been fine.

Did try to purchase genuine ones but the guy at the Main dealer said he wanted

4 blue triangles
17 red Sausage shaped bananas
and
12 yellow stars.
for a pair

Told him to do one as that was 'silly money' for what was on offer:behindsofa:
