Morning gents,
Well, as far as my understanding goes, these are not cup shocks. They have the green sticker on them instead of the yellow/blue one that the cup shocks come with and they are also oil filled rather than the gas cup shocks.
These have been bought by going into my local Renault...
Fella just said "It's just had new original springs and shocks fitted." bud.....
I guess if you are saying to check the fitment etc thats a fair point.

Could be a few things i guess......i wonder could rear bearings be a factor here.
There are big ass bushing in the rear arms too, might want to get those checked as well bud

Are there any dealers who would be willing to check some brand new ph2 172 shocks for me to see if they make this noise?

Right......so on the KTEC page.....i can see what everyone was talking about with regards to the green vs blue/yellow stickers.

In their image of the shocks, you can just see the catch holding the rod down on the cup shock (blue/yellow) on the...
