Beta shock absorber
« on: 22 May, 2016, 10:39:28 PM »
My 1977 Beta sedan has a leaking rear shock. I was looking at the internet and I can't find a replacement any where ??? . Does anybody have a good second hand one or new old stock , or a suggestion . Thanks David Mirolo.

I only have Coupe rear shocks, which are shorter. They all come up pretty regularly on ebay though, or Mark at Betaboyz may have one?

I think inserts are put in front struts, which I have done, but I haven't heard of it for rear shocks'.

Checking betaboyz website there seems to be an insert available for the rear shocks. Thanks for the advice.  ;) . David

The Betas have a mix of replaceable inserts and sealed units, depending on when the car was built. Mark W converted a rear sealed strut for me to accept an insert.
