Rear Shocks question.

Wondering if anyone can help please. I have been trying to find a rough cost for rear shocks for a 2001 Wingroad. Not having much luck with Mr Google today. lol

Ring your local tyre shop or parts suppliers ie BNT, Repco, Supercheap.

Supercheap have got a web parts lookup now - a bit like some of the US part stores. Good on them.

Took about 30 seconds to find KYB brand rear shocks listed for Wingroad @ $81.95 each, free delivery.
BNT are probably more likely to carry stock though.

Any advice about only replacing one ?

Best practice is to do in pairs, one gone other one will soon follow.
Hi grannypam, long time no see (o:

Y13?
OP's car was 2001, so presumably Y11
Supercheap also lists Y12 KYB rear shocks at $92 each.

Grannypam-MM is totally correct re model number
Your Car is most likely a Y11
Y12 is 05 and newer.
Don't ask where I got Y13 from -I dunno either.
I'll delete my two posts
BUT --Y11 rear shocks are about $ 200 a pair. Incidently theres two options depending on the weight you intend to carry.
grannypam my honest advice to you. Replacing just one shock absorber is false economy. WORSE just tossing in a second hand one.
Im guessing you have failed a WOF for leaking shock absorber.
