HI There..
I have a 2004 SWB 3.2DID with not great stability on the road - wobbly/boaty...
The front shocks and parts of the suspension, were replaced by the dealership I bought it from, but the car is still quite wobbly/boaty on the road. I have been advised to replace the rear shocks as well...
(having had a 2001 SWB with ironman suspension retro fitted - which was way to hard & made the car feel unstable) - i am in a quandry as to which shocks to purchase, as i am getting conflicting advise from various mechanics...
KYB XL-G? Gabriel safaris? Gabriel gas riders? Monroe premium gas riders? other? ...
Please can someone who knows the SWB and its foibles, tell me which shocks will actually work on this particular vehicle and give me more stability on the road.
It has the original Mitsubishi suspension. 90% tar road driving, unladen.
Your help is greatly appreciated

The rear trailing arm bushes most probably needs to be looked at as well.

thanks Roelf, the rear trailing arm bushes have been replaced. So now its just which shocks to put on the rear...

I fitted Monroe not too long ago. They seem OK

Thanks Roelf -- which Monroe's were they? i was told the Premium Gas riders were the ones to choose from this manufacturer...
thanks so much for your input

No idea. I took the car to the suspension shop in Nelspruit, he phoned his supplier and they went the Monroe route. They are black and ugly with no writing on them, that I could see.

thanks Roelf

Happypanda. I am very happy with the HDP Safari's, good comfortable ride with very good handling. Keep in mind I had the complete suspension overhauled when I installed the shocks, it improved the ride hight aswell.
