should i change the front shocks only?

[ikhil]

i have to get the front shocks changed but i have thought of waiting for the rear shocks to give up so that i can change all four of the them.

Hi there,

This will all depend on how much mileage you have on them. Ussualy the front shocks go before the rear ones. That is because they have to handle the weight of the engine and also if you hit a pot hole or climb a sidewalk most probably the front of the vehicle will do it faster than the rear because you realize you did it too fast and you brake.

On my Disco 2 the rear ones are a bit too soft but the front ones are fine. Probably because the previous owner changed the front ones only. My car has done 150.000kms and I think the rear ones will last another 10.000.

BTW, if you go off road, now would be a good time to consider an upgrade or even a lift kit.

Hope I've helped!

Thats a very good advise Prufster suggested to consider upgrade or lift if you intend to go offroad.

Otherwise you will feel you are wasting ur current shocks and no one pays a better money for stock used shocks.
