Hi all, I have now covered 147,000 on what I imagine are still some original suspension components. I know two years ago I had the front wishbones/Track rods/Droplinks replaced for an MOT (although how well the MOT garage did the job is questionable ) I do limited milage at the moment but I am finding the ride has got very bumpy (particularly at slower speeds) where I'm sure it used to be more complient) Tyre pressures are correct and although I am due more front tyres shortly, I'm fairly convinced that they wouln't cause this. Does it sound like new shocks and springs may sort this? Regards Austin

Are Billie shocks ok to be run on standard springs? I'm happy with the ride height.
Thanks

Well It looks like I won't be able to get the billies. I checked with AA and they have a full set for £539.35 inc vat(cash is short this month).
Standard Shocks all round work out to be £227.46 inc vat, which I believe are monroe shocks.
Are new standard ones really that bad?
Thanks
