Title: Elite self levelling shocks fitting
Post by: dolphintat on 19 October 2013, 11:23:46

I am trying to fit my shock absorbers on my omega elite.   The shocks that were on there were the wrong ones and do not have the same parts as the dealer self levelling shocks.  I need to know which rubbers and washers go where.  I have the new washers for the self levelling shocks, but only have the rubbers from the previous Monroe (or perhaps previous self levelling dealer shocks).  Can anyone help with the order in which they go on?

Just taken the car for a test run and it is perfect.  Great job by my sons Aaron and Liam :y.  Might get a Haynes manual and see if they are up for doing the work  ::).  Anyone here know where I can get a Haynes Manual for a 1997 Omega Elite Estate?
