anyone know where i can get some shockies for my 1985 suzuki van,new or used doesnt matter,ive tried a few auto shops but they cant find a part number for fronts.
prefer seconhand cause i dont wanna spend too much on the old van.
where to get new shocks????????
New struts for a Carry don't exist, hense why you can't find a part number. If you can't find a decent set second hand then your only real option is to have the old ones rebuilt.
A backyard fix is to drill a hole in the strut and fill it with a thicker sump oil, which does actually work for old hydraulic shock absorbers. Don't try this if for some reason you have gas struts. (Very unlikely).

Monroe do new dampers for the Carry, again, not cheap. Around $485 for the set, which I presume is all four, don't do them individually. They can be ordered through Repco.
Does anyone know if they are the same design as any other Suzi? Sierra perhaps?

Nope. The carry has a unique short body strut in the front, just to be able to fit under the cabin.

Is it at all possible to buy lower springs for the front??
The only thing that annoys me about these cool little cars is the lack of parts available, new or used.
I went to repco to buy a simple oil filter and they dont even have a listing, they cant be that rare, surely.
