i wonder if every main dealership has a different profit margin as they are franchises . I guess so ??
Even eurocar parts want £50 each as well !!!
Ben
Thanks for telling me what dampers do . Lol
when u say cheap as chips my local main dealer want £120 for a pair.
i can get a set of 1.4 rear dampers for £17 a pair on ebay
Ben
Im lookin for a set of rear dampers for my 172 cup and wondered what the difference was between the other models ???
The ebay listing say sutable for the 1.2 1.4 1.6 16v etc and not suitable for the 2.0. Why is this ???
Do all the 172 and 182's run the same rear damper ???
Ben
It could of just been one of those things were at the end of the production they just put what was left over on the shelf onto the car
I know ford were like that
Ben
Well they have been around long enuff
mostly good things r said on the ford forums about them. Ive never delt with them personally as i done all my own work on my fiesta
Ben
Nice simple answer . Cool. Im guessin its pre set with the nut n bolt thats hold the lever down onto the 2 pistons that go into the unit under the rubber boot
Ben
......rear brake compensator on my cup ?
I know the cup models dont have the compensators connected to the rear beam but its still there. But is the unit its self set at a pre set level ???? . So just wondered if can i just by pass the box with a straight throught lines and would it change...
Sounds like its still running standard internals !!! as it says nothing about uprated internals with lowered C.R
properbly with a de-comp plate = not the best
If ya going to do it do it properly
Not worth 5.5k IMO of course
Ben
Right , last couple of days ive :
Relocated my filter with new pipe
Put on the new seal kits for both calipers
Put both hubs and calipers back on. Put a wheel up against tom get a little pic of what its gonna be like when done
Re-packed both CV joints
bought some rear discs from EURO CAR PARTS...
Managed to re-furb 2 of my wheels yesterday, not bad for a home effort and using cans
its raining today so I think ill just pop into the office and put the hubs / suspention back on
