Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

Good evening.
My first question of many.
Any advice will be appreciated.

I’ve had my Pajero for about 15yrs. Love it.
It is a 2000 Blister Fender 3.5V6
No problems except those self inflicted.

My new problem after fitting a OME suspension. (Fantastic to drive now)
Some of the bushes front and rear needs to be replaced. For some of them I was quoted 20k. Inc. labour
This is parts from the dealers.
The same pars from Midas were about 3k. But I need better quality.
Anyone with info will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Cornelius, did you fit your shocks yourself. Mines a 2001 3 5 LWB have serviced what I can myself. But on loads of posts no one's mentioned in book called insulators, top bottom spring rubbers. I need to replace mine but with KYB shocks. However feel need to replace mounting rubbers at same time. As if damaged could cause metal metal friction noise. If you did replace where get from prices. Thanks Bob

Hi Rob

I had the new springs and shocks fitted at 4x4 Megaworld. All the bushes supplied with the new suspension.
They informed me of worn wishbone bushes and control arm bushes.
They the ones I need to replace.

There is a factory in Kokstad that manufactures these polyurethane bushes: https://adcomponents.co.za/product-cate ... hi_pajero/

Some branches of Pro Auto Rubber also stock poly bushes.

Thank you very much Thabo.
I will contact them.
