Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

Hi All,

I happily own a 2010 Mitusbishi Pajero sport 3.2 DiD A/T and am planning to replace my shocks soon - sitting at around 225 000KM on the clock, bought the vehicle at 145 000KM, she feels a little wobbly around the corners. Doesn't look like there's any damage or leakage on the shocks though, but I'd say it's time. I don't need fancy off road super shocks, whatever works for the daily commute/weekend warrior/gravel roads/light 4x4/the odd trip to Kgalagadi.

Any suggestions for replacements (bear in mind I'm on a budget ) would be awesome. Want to get some ideas before asking around in the shops - don't trust the Supaquicks as much as I wish I could to give me an honest opinion/recommendation.

Thanks:).

Read the topic “Ride quality on the Pajero”.
No real solutions have been contributed. Maybe it is a state secret
I am of the opinion that many of the pajero problems is caused by the poor ride quality caused by the suspension setup.
And Mitsibushi is deaf and silent on this topic
Please share your experiences once you have replaced your system.

I would suggest the best value for money is the standard KYB shocks. Mine lasted close to 200k kms.

Not sure about the suspension problems you are referring to - personally it's one of the best and most stable vehicles on gravel I've ever driven. On road it drives like a sedan.

My biggest gripe would be the limited travel on the font wheels for offroading - but that's the tradeoff for having more road car like suspension. Which is fine given the car spends 90% + on the road.
