Title: 1996-36 U295 front shocks
Post by: dans96u295ft on February 14, 2020, 08:58:32 pm
Ok. Found two up front but the book shows 4 up front ? I think it's wrong. 4 on the rear. AND it has the original Bilsteins on the front. The rears were just replaced with gold Koni's before I bought it.  I'm a Bilstein fan. Should I stay with the same gold Koni's or go to the red Koni's which show as an upgrade? or new Bilsteins?
Thanks again. Learning

Don't know about only 2 shocks but I put Konis up front and left original Bilsteins in the rear.  Great ride and handling up front with the new Michelins. What happens 36' - 40' behind me is in another world for $700.00 minimally.

There are definitely four shocks on the front. If you get under there with a flashlight you'll see the elusive other two.
