clumber Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Recently replaced shocks,springs and bushes all round on my l200. All parts supplied by Milner off road, no complaints with the quality. Firmed the ride up a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 As said milners are great, just make sure you lubricate the lower mounta and be careful. Check you can undo them before you order as the bolts are very easy to shear off. New mounts used to be £25 a pop so to save on postage make sure you don't need them first!
