Subject: [Mgs] Rear shock absorber

Refurbished and refurbished may mean two totally different things.

At a time, I opted for two refurbished shocks, from a well established
supplier in Britain.

The tapered bore was elongated and damaged, the mounting holes were
damaged too.

It could clearly be seen that, at some time in the past, a BFH had been
released on these shocks.

I had similar experiences with refurbished alternators  (two times;
different cars).

It was clear to me that I can do a better job myself (as I did the next
time, actually).

No more refurbished components for me!
