Wheel, Rim and suspension advice... your $.02!

[.:FoRuM56:.]

I stumbled upon this post and learned a lot. However, I have a 1990 Pajero 2.5 Mk1, and I'm having trouble finding out if the suspension crosses over from the L300? Does anyone know if they are the same?

No, they are not the same. At least out back they aren't.

All 4 shocks and rear springs need replacing. I made the mistake of trying to simply measure my rear mitsu shocks and buy the same size Monroes. So basically I threw $100 in the garbage and ended up worse off than before.

Why didn't it work, you should be able to take an overall length, along with shock style, ei. Eyelet/Stud and get a good selection of shocks.

I can trade out my shocks fine, but may need a shop to do the coils. Should I go to CVI for that?

Coils aren't too bad to replace. It's easier if you drop the panhard bar and shocks to replace the coils since you can allow for full droop, although you will need to watch brake lines. I'm sure any shop could do it but it's always an option to do it yourself and save a few bucks..

I would also take the advice of getting the 2'' lift while I'm at it, but that may limit me from accessing my parking garage.

It's a Pajero, not a Maybach lol..

Thank you
