You might remember a while ago the post about knocking noise from rear after fitting new shocks. Well I returned the shock as they were faulty.

Now my dilemma is do I get the same ones (Bilstein B4's) or my other choices are Kast, Nordic or KYB. My choices are small because where I bought the faulty ones they have only given me a voucher to use, so I can only buy from them!

Any help on the other brands is much appreciated.

Could you use you voucher for other parts? Monroe have always had a good name, but then so have Bilstein, maybe B2? We have kyb on our rear though they seem to be a "cheap" brand that said they seem to work at the mo.

I'm currently changing our front shocks, I will put a "how to" on after I'm finished, in theory its only 4 nuts, in reality its lots of pain in the butt!

I've created my how to guide hope this helps people;

I just installed kyb's on my 2013 pop. They seem to be working great. Smooth and easy change
