Advice from the local Koni distributor ... Thank you for contacting Toperformance Products and enquiring about KONI shock absorbers for your Isuzu. We do list and currently have stock of KONI shock absorbers to suit the front of the MU-X, but at this stage KONI do not list a rear damper. ·...

When I first looked at Dobinson's replacement kit and two lift kits (lift/comfort, lift/load +100-200kgs) I noticed the same spec shock included in all three. That didn't make sense and I asked the supplier about it. No worries, all fine. Hah. Rebound damping was hopeless on both the lift...

Can't get Konis for the rear as far as I can see.

Thanks, will look into it. They offer remote reservoir shocks for the Mux. http://www.kingshocksaustralia.com.au/boltinshockkits.html

Yeah, that's the way it goes. See ya.

Early in the piece D was making a special effort to expedite it by courier, so the wagon could stay with the mechanic. Not sure about these days. It'd be worth emailing Sydney or Melbourne to see how they can help. I took mine down to the Melb factory cos I wanted to chat about the job, and...

I won't miss your sarcasm and disrespect.

My recollection from the blog is that this was an early failure. How many others have there been? It may have been fixed. Note the posts here that haven't reported that kind of failure. 30K is a rule of thumb from my experience - my vehicle, roads, driving style, tyres, tyre pressures and all...

Right. If you can't play the ball get personal. Welcome to my Ignore list.

You got your answer. Didn't like it? Yawn.

When D got into shocks (which contrary to their ads wasn't 60 years ago) they bought them from Eastern Europe, and over my time with the gear I came to the conclusion they were clueless about shocks. Eg: 1. The same model shock was provided with the 2 standard lift kits (viz, lift and comfort...
