All 4 shocks are shot - suggestions on where to find

[3leftovercrest]

hi guys,

So the project QP has been driving very oddly since I had the disks and pads changed.

Had a full investigation today and seems that’s all four shock absorbers are shot to pieces and I also need upper front wishbone arms. Ouch!

Lancasters do not have them in stock and have told me they are no longer available at the factory. I have checked with Maranello or Scuderia parts and they do not have any at all. They will be £1000 plus VAT if I could find them anyway.

Any ideas on where I could either find direct replacements or is there an alternative suspension system so I can potentially disengage skyhook?

cheers!

Eurospares may have pattern parts for the wishbones and maybe try to renovate/recondition the shocks rather than buy new? There are only so many parts that need to be replaced and is a fairly straightforward job for one of the specialists who offer this service

Good luck

Soz for the swear filter… the first word began with “tw” and the last one with “cr”…
