Magnetic ride

[Mike Aldridge]

My garage has said I have a shock absorber gone due to a knock going over bumps. My TT is fitted with magnetic ride, they have quoted £140 parts and labour for the repair. I think this is quite cheap do you think they are fitting the correct part ?

Hello Michael, 

Sounds rather cheap to me too. Ask them what brand of shock  absorber they will be using. 
Not sure about your set up, but accepting shock absorbers can knock, but generally the issue is either the bushes or even a broken spring. 
Worth a second opinion? 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

Hi magnetic ride is old technology therefore multiple aftermarket companies now build the units judging by the price I am assuming its a rear shock.
