Title: Rear Shocks
Post by: Mike Farmer on 27 Oct, 2018, 19:30

Hi

I've got three different manuals and they give me three different shoch absorber lengths. Varying from 9.4"  ---- 12>4"-----13.4".

So what did they leave the factory with. Or whats thought to be the best option

9.4 is fitted length of the spring rather than overall length of unit.

The early A65 had units 13.4 inches between centres. Not sure if the length varied with the different pattern frames used.
