Title: FE ute Shocks and Muffler Post by: Rabbitoh on June 29, 2005, 06:13:01 AM Does anyone know of reasonably priced front shock absorbers to suit FE ute? Rare Spares want $150 each for the ones they stock! :o
Also, what is a good replacement (off the shelf) muffler for my very perforated current unit? Thanks a lot.

Not sure about mufflers though, but a bargain that was pointed out on the www.Autospeed.com site a while ago, is the fact a lot of rice-boys replace their perfectly good low mileage exhausts for those demented coffee cans. If you find a sympathetic shop owner you might get yourself a bargain.

They were quite expensive (about $120 each from memory), but they were EXCELLENT shocks. I would highly recommend them. They were heaps better than the OEM that I now run in the ol'girl.
