My MV6 needed to have the rear shocks replaced so i replaced them with some gas ones from the local motor factors. The problem is since i replaced them there is a rumblings noise coming from the boot area. I cannot take them back as this was over a year ago and the car has sat since last may. I MOT'd it the other day to put it back on the road and remembered the rumbling sound was there that i had previously forgot. I did also at the time of fitting the shocks replace the upper mount bushes that sit on either side of the body work as the old ones were knackered. I need to replace these shocks again as the sound is driving me mad, i think that it can only be these shocks as the noise only appeared when i replaced them. Can someone recommend a good quality shock that will not upset the ride and want to keep it fairly standard.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Also if anyone can give me an idea of how much i should pay for a pair would also be good.

The MV6 passed the mot with no problems at all and the rear springs are also fine!

Thanks

Just to add it does not have any self levelling shocks.

get yourself an abs trade club card, link below, and get genuine mv6 shocks from vx, they are not expensive. 80 odd a pair iirc? Also check the top shock mount is assembled correctly as previous.

The link is not working, also does anyone have a diagram for the rear shock assembly?
I think that i would prefer the original vauxhall parts but if not does anyone have any experience of Kyb Excel G shocks?
