Title: Shock absorbers Post by: kev131 on January 20, 2011, 07:37:27 PM On another thread I previously described some front suspension noises on my Supermirafiori.
I decided that one of the noises (a clonking) is from an aftermarket shock absorber bought new on Ebay for buttons. Consequently I've bought a set of new Fiat 131 Diesel front shocks which I know are favoured for application on the Sport. I'm wondering should I waste them on the Super or if I was to fit them, could they be too stiff for what is supposed to be a more softly sprung car. Any thoughts? :) Title: Re: Shock absorbers Post by: mirafiori76 on January 20, 2011, 07:51:02 PM Kevin,
It's not just the absorbers that make the front suspension stiffer on Diesels. That's also the springs. You can easely fit them on your Super. It only makes a little difference. Perhaps you don't even notice the difference. Title: Re: Shock absorbers Post by: stathe174 on January 20, 2011, 11:30:20 PM Can I fit them to a series 1 ???

Ah - Cheers Mike. :) Title: Re: Shock absorbers Post by: mirafiori76 on January 21, 2011, 08:37:36 AM Good luck, Kev :)
