MY01 life expectancy of shocks
#1
Can anyone tell me how long a set of shocks should last. I have an 01 with 27000 and i'm starting to get a bit of band when i hit sudden bumps. i was wondering if it could be the shocks?
Help appreciated
thanks

A bit of a band, dont you mean BANG.
But back on subject my rear shocks have just been replaced as the N/S had lost most of its fluid and mine has got 27.5k on it.
I didnt realise how bad it was handling until the new ones were put on.
PS. Dont buy from the dealers as you can get them for £140 including delivery and VAT.The dealers wanted £110 + Vat each.

So was i mate, until Subaru told me they were not covered after year 1 as they are then classed as a wear and tear item and are subsequently not covered.
Mine cost £140 for the shocks and £60 fitting by my dealer.

haha i did mention that i know the engine is'nt standard but the suspension and brakes sure are, well Prodrive anyway
Service manager then told me 'the car gets a hard life, track days etc" to which i reply "its there to be used or i would buy a skoda" then i told him to think theirselves lucky, i'm paying for a new clutch out of my own pocket
