Front damper and springs
Hi Guys,
I have a leaking damper and thought it best to replace the whole lot on both sides. unfortunately, I can't see the part numbers I need as the label under the rear seat has been polished off. All I can see is either "RR or RB or BB or RR Spring" as the letter aren't properly legible. On the strut i can see "FM White Delphi Spain" and a number "?2191038, FT024". I cant tell what the first ? character is. THe coloured markings on the springs are long gone! My chassis number is SARRJLLHC4D317939. Can anyone advise? regards Rich |
I can not help you, but I am sure Marinabrian or Trikey will be along shortly to give you a definitive answer. You are in Leeds, why not ask Big Russ his advice. He lives in Leeds.

Comfort spec will be Red/Brown springs, 'sports' spec will be 'Brown/Brown' i cannot remember the specs for struts, but they are listed on that page. Sport spec was not a common fitment apparently. But keep in mind the condition of the roads you will be driving on when deciding. |

I have had this saved on a long list from years ago - these are the front spring codes for a diesel - M47 Diesel MG suspension RH Brown/Red QK 294.38mm 15.45mm 31 N/mm RND 000341 Comfort M47 Diesel MG suspension LH Brown/Red RE 294.38mm 15.45mm 31 N/mm RND 000351 Comfort M47 Diesel Sport suspension RH Brown/Brown QJ 275.59mm 16.25mm 37 N/mm RND 000340 Sport M47 Diesel Sport suspension LH Brown/Brown PD 275.59mm 16.25mm 37 N/mm RND 000350 Sport |
HI Guys,
This is all I have to work with? So it's either Red Brown or Brown Brown ... what do you think it is? http://[img]https://www.the75andztcl...514e903ca4.jpg[/IMG]https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...514e903ca4.jpg |
Hi Rich
I am just about to replace my Front Shocks on my MG ZT CDTi (Well Friday) I am going to replace with:- RNB001050 CODE RE BROWN / RED RNB001040 CODE QK BROWN / RED I do believe that they are the Comfort sport ones, Also changing top mounts etc on both sides, so I can report back at the weekend if they feel any better (They better as one is leaking at the moment) :D |
As your car is 170BHP - would suggest the sports version ?:shrug:
|
As your car is at 170bhp (how was this attained by the way?) i would have thought Sports version.:shrug:
|
Sports suspension was generally a standard fit on early ZTs but replaced with comfort spec as it was found to be a bit harsh.
The build inf on your car says it's a later model so I would say it's comfort suspension it is on my ZT which came off the line 3 days after yours!
