Title: Rear shockabsorbers - what are they for? Post by: roddy on 15 October, 2009, 02:27:18 PM Many years ago I got these new shockabsorbers as a job-lot of Fulvia parts. They are not for a Fulvia (nor I presume a Flavia). What are they for?
Stamped into the body is :- TIPO 50.02023 ANT 04 CN One has 56410, the other 56372 Eyelets take 8mm bolts, and centres are 345mm apart. Thank you for your help Roddy Title: Re: Rear shockabsorbers - what are they for?

Thank you for your help Roddy Hi Roddy, another pair looking very similar are currently for sale on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390024565162&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT But they have a Lancia part number and are marked as 818.100 - Rears for Fulvia Berlina.

My experience is limited to coupé/Sport units which usually have an off-set eyelet at the bottom. Also they are at maximum expansion at 345mm eyelet centre to centre, which is considerably shorter than a coupé/Sport needs. Perhaps the S1 saloon, with the lower ride height, just needs shorter units. You don't fancy having a crawl under FAY with a tape measure, do you??? (Might be to your advantage, as I was about to dump them!)
Kind regards - Roddy Title: Re: Rear shockabsorbers - what are they for? Post by: fay66 on 15 October, 2009, 10:13:04 PM Hello Brian - Thank you for the information. Yes, they do look similar.

Is it possible that the number stamped on the body 56372 might be 52372? as I've found a reference under shock absorbers to 52372. I'd hoped the technical section of the manual would give open & closed lengths of them, but it only gives values for testing on special equipment.

Thank you for your interest. Regards - Roddy |
