MG ZT front shock absorbers
 

So I changed the strut top bearings on my ztt diesel yesterday to find that the front shocks ate knackered. Now I have already changed the lower arms, drop links and now the strut top bearings so only makes sense to change the springs along with the knackered shocks.

My problem is the severe lack of shocks for the mg zt! I will be fitting some moto build springs but can anyone suggest front shocks? I only seem to find rover 75 ones but could this be an alternative if the moto build springs are being fitted anyway?

75 ones will fit ok, but are slightly longer
I'm currently running a ZT on 75 struts with ZT springs with no issues at all.....................it's all I had in stock:o

Any help? :}

How much longer? Did you have any issues with the spring fitting or ride height change?

Not sure off the top of my head, probably an inch or so but put it this way, when you replace ZT strut top mounts you only need the pinch bolt out & you can knock the hub carrier down enough, but with a 75 you need to split the bottom ball joint as well to get the hub carrier far enough down for the strut to clear.
Absolutely no issues with spring fitment but it does raise the ride height fractionally.

Mmmm, you have something to change springs with :drool4:

Might have to pop up to yours, bring a couple of struts, and a crankshaft locking tool for the ride ;)

Brian :D

I'll be aboot from 2.00 ish today:}
