Have you got nackered Dampers? It shouldnt feel sloppy :confused:

i got mine from leda suspension in braintree essex, i have had them for bout 7 years, and my front shockers were change for the MOT bout 8 years ago.

tbh its a wierd feeling, when i corner fast or take a roundabout fast it sort of ducks and dives round it, feeling very loose. like being on a boat tbh, but not actually rolling.

does anyone know of any other front inserts that would fit in the s12 strut??

just buy some kyb front shocks.. your dampers are nackered. Mine are also nackered on the front. It feels all floaty:p

I will be getting kybs and welding on threaded tubes for coilovers like Silvia Engineering Did and many others since:)

umpkin 30-06-2007 21:51

i didnt think KYB's were available for the s12 anymore???

PukkaSilvia 30-06-2007 21:53

Where did you hear that? :confused:


Any motor factors can supply patent ones btw. Kybs are the preferance though

umpkin 30-06-2007 21:58

i shall investigate, im sure i heard it on here, may have miss heard. cheers for the heads up on that.

PukkaSilvia 30-06-2007 21:59

you may be rite. Hopefully your not:p

s13eater 30-06-2007 22:06

i'am sure they are the same as the 280zx inserts.

Sounds like some slightly knackered bushes or ball joints as well as tired shocks.

I have some spare front legs that you could try though Umpkin.
