Default Advice on locating parts , please.

Hi all.

I need two rear shock absorbers, two front wheel bearings and both rear axle bushes.

I've found a couple of UK sites - bestpartstore and japarts - that have shocks and bearings but I'm having difficulty locating the bushes.
I'd rather not get poly bushes if possible.

Any recommendations?

Thanks for the advice, mate.

I was told if using poly bushes then all four should be replaced.

Cool

I'm thinking of changing my shocks. The back end is so soft and sloppy it bucks around and bottoms out I think. Is this likely to be the shocks, and what sites have you found that do the shocks?

Hi mate,

I have tried various sites and cannot find new shocks anywhere.

I managed to get two secondhand ones from Paul. Try contacting him - details below.
