Rear Shockers - bigtone0777 - 28-08-2013
Hi Guy's. I presume rear shockers are the same across all the 306 models but as I don't like to rely on presumptions I thought I'd ask you guy's to confirm.
The reason I ask is I've found these and as I am needing mine replaced on my HDI thought I might give them a bid.

yeh they'll be fine
RE: Rear Shockers - bigtone0777 - 28-08-2013
Thanks Ginge!
RE: Rear Shockers - ginge191 - 28-08-2013
note; you'll need bolts; guessing if you're just swapping them, use your existing bolts
RE: Rear Shockers - bigtone0777 - 28-08-2013
If they don't snap removing them, they look like they've been there since the car was born lol
RE: Rear Shockers - ginge191 - 28-08-2013

Best to get a new nut, only from Pug though.

I'll grab now nuts and bolts from Pug before I do the job just in case.
RE: Rear Shockers - Bender - 28-08-2013
Great, as long as it has a new nut thats the main thing and wont hurt getting the lot. However afair pug no longer sell the bolts just nuts now.
RE: Rear Shockers - bigtone0777 - 28-08-2013
I'm sure I could pick some high tensile bolts up if I knew the size. Like to be prepared as everything seems seized solid on this car grrrr
RE: Rear Shockers - Bender - 28-08-2013
Nope I tried that and they are a weird size a nut n bolt place could not match, ie head is where it wedges into the recess in the arm. Im sure you can find something to wedge the smaller head.
RE: Rear Shockers - mtp - 03-09-2013
Are they all nylon locking nuts on the rear beam?
RE: Rear Shockers - Bender - 03-09-2013
Almost, the rear mount bolts to body are washer nuts same as the front OS engine mount bracket ones but I use nylon just in case. All the others are nylon ones.
RE: Rear Shockers - titch - 03-09-2013
The bolts are still available from Pug as i got all new ones not that long ago when i replaced my rear shocks.
RE: Rear Shockers - Bender - 04-09-2013
They must have got a load made up then or they found some, they are well known for taking their time in producing bolts etc, like the torsion bar shouldered bolts a while back took over a year.
