Righty to get the motor through its MOT it needed a new rear shocker. PITA but i found a supplier online, checked it was the right one for mine and bought it. Arrived next day:cheer: but its appears to be a front. (Then got sh1t cust service - returns number recieved but when trying to arrange pickup they went quiet.) So is it actually a front shocker as it appears to be by looking at the front of the motor? (my immediate thought)

Yep that's a front one mate, rears have "eye" fastenings at both ends.

As it is "Pin and Loop" then (if its the correct size) then its a Front One, the rears on a Jimny are "Loop and Loop"

I bought a pair of monroe gas rears from eBay for £68.99 (I collected them as the supplier was "round the corner") else +£10.

(I actually didn't want gas, as all I know about gas shocks is they blow the oil out through the seals, but gas was all I could get)

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

I"ve had Procomps on all my motors and they have been great.
