The shock absorbers are really dampers, they do NOT support the car.
If it's sitting on the bumpstops you need new rubber cones probably. :wink:

I think the rear shocks are different, same as a van. But they are only longer. I've simply put sedan shocks in my van, as the longer ones are too hard to get. Only 3cm difference.

In the Karcraft catalogue, they list the shocks as being mini+moke for both the fronts and rears so one would think the suspension is the same. There is no mention of van rears?
Maybe that's just what they stock though.

I bunged a set of Karcrafty clubman shocks in Da Moke with no probs. The length was just dandy.
