WTB: Front Left shock absorber for 6 cylinder e30

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm looking for a front left shock absorber for my FL 325i.

Let me know if you have anything in Auckland.

Cheers,

Andrew

The shocks are inserts and not handed... only the struts are handed. I would also suggest changing both fronts if only one is faulty. There are also 2 sizes 45mm & 51mm. Most 325ms had 51mm

This. Definitely.
Not replacing both is at best a false economy; in the worst case it could be dangerous.

Thanks for the pointers guys! The one I'm replacing had already been replaced by the last owner (evident by the markings present on the strut). 

It's hard to tell what I'm getting when I'm buying second hand. Does anyone refurbish these or have good aftermarket ones with factory performance.?
