Rear Shockers
500 or so miles ago I fitted a pair of Decarbon shocks,today I managed to snap of the distle end of the near side one.Is it me or do they not make things to last? Big Cry
I had a set of Decarbons on my Disco for 120k and no problems,now they appear to be made of playdough! The broken shocker has only been subjected to the same off road driving you would do in a company car! Its never over in my land rover.

In the past, every set i fitted ended up breaking off an eyelet after a year or so ... stopped using Decarbon years ago .... french rubbish Evil or Very Mad Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant.
