My frst is getting an mot, failed on 2 tyres and leaky shock at the back. so may troubles start. PE ordered 2 shocks and yest i was told they do not fit the springs. so waiting tomorrow to see if the springs they order in will fit if not i am screwed as it is christmas and funds are low. rung up ford and they no longer stock this part any longer.
now. please help what the f*** should i do? i have seen some coilovers on ebay for about £599 but take about 2 weeks to come and i dont really have that kind of cash. are there anyother shocks that fit the stock frst spring? i sun out of MOT today so this is another issue. thank you to all the people who reply. merry xmas.

Have you bought shoks and not struts for it cos if its a mk3 back strut it will fit on the springs unless the springs are cut is it lowered

[xjtaggedx]

No sir it's completely stock in that way. I don't understand you comments tho sorry.

[mikeymikeyp]

its a fiesta rs turbo mk 3 yes

[mikeymikeyp]

Sorry mate its a focus rs,, you v got that would explain the wrong shock s**t
Try passion ford mate u should be able to pick up a set of standard back struts//shoks for pennies

I only know 1 guy with a focus rs but hes a bit of a horder

[xjtaggedx]

Sorry for any confusion. It is a H reg fiesta rs turbo. Not a focus.

They put xr2i shockson there but it ssits a Lil higher

[mikeymikeyp]

what spring did they use the ones that came off it should be the same height

[xjtaggedx]

No they did not, was told they did not fit. Also my car now pulls to the left. Any ideas?

All MK3 rear shocks should be the same height. XR2i rear shocks should be fine for the rear of your car in terms of how they sit. Unless your old ones were just a bit too knackered and the rear was sagging a bit?

MK3.5 shocks have a higher/raised lower spring platform as they use shorter springs on the rear, so if it is a lot higher than it should be, it's possible that they've fitted MK3.5 shocks instead.

I used to work for a motor factors and it's quite amazing how many aftermarket manufacturers don't recognise the difference on the rear and simply supply one shock on the rear from 1989 to 1996.
