zt-t rear shocks info required

Graham E · 15th May 2011, 20:54

Are the rear shocks on the ZT-T the same.

I have a 2002 51 plate and just wanted to know if I can fit a pair of shocks off any other ZT-T.
I know the 75 ones are softer but are the MG ones the same?

Thanks

Dampers and springs are tuned to the various models. The standard advice is to replace like with like to ensure the ride characteristics are not altered. The damper and spring code for your car is recorded on a sticker under the rear seat cushion. Here's the complete listing.

Sorry to resurect this thread but just found some oem rear shocks at a good price.

Looking at the info above it seems the rear shocks are the same for saloon and tourer models.

Is this right as I thought they would be different.

(ZT/ZTT) It's the MGR listing.
