Technical Rear suspension knock, shock bushes

Clearly it was your decision, but it surprises me that anyone would put second hand suspension components on their vehicle, especially when not only do you have to consider your own safety, but also that of the passengers you will undoubtedly carry in your vehicle at some point. I would be surprised if you know the history of the shocks you have put on your car and I'm assuming they come with no guarantee if they fail. Personally, I would never do it, it just doesn't make any sense. I'm guessing you were driven by cost, but to be honest, you can buy quality decent dampers for a reasonable price if you are prepared to shop around. I mean this sincerely, I hope your cheap second hand units are safe.

As you well know, there are plenty of 2nd hand "new" parts around for the A500 as the SS kit is often fitted when the car was new. Besides I bought them from a trusted friend and I could tell by the condition that they were never used.
