hi to all associated fans

back into offroading with my boy (driving)we have a b4 and a b44 what is the difference between V1 & V2 shocks and how do i tell what i have ?

apologies if there is a thread somewhere but i cant find one (but i am dense :thumbsup:)

regards dave

V1 the internals are installed via the shock body.

V2 the internals are screwed in from the bottom.

If you car is more than 1 year old more than likely have the V1 shock.

thanks Mick
I have V1 on both cars

do i need to upgrade if i can afford to at some point ?

i do have shock bleeder caps on B44 is this worth putting on the B4 aswell

sorry for all simple questions

Dave,

Havent used the v2's myself so cant comment on them but i would get a set of the bleeder caps. Much easier to bleed shocks :thumbsup:

It depends on "sanity" of your shock rebuilds, If you regularly change o-rings, V2 provide MUCH easier way of doing so.
Bleeder caps were already mentioned, besides, V2 also have longer shafts
