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 |

Absolutely no issues with spring fitment but it does raise the ride height fractionally. |

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