348 Damper/ Shock Questions.

Check Service Bulletin #60-27 and the workshop manual, Section F around pages25-30 IIRC.

 

This is what comes up from that part number (146291).
348 TB rear shocks, superceded from 141858.
Valid for nut 137826. Not for US Spider; for TB / TS I & D only. Valid till car ass. No 13559. For all other version valid till car ass. No 13920.

So from that description it would not be correct for a Spider!!

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Phil.

 

I don't know if they were adjustable, but the 348 challenge IIRC used a different damper than stock. According to the '94 challenge manual those are correct parts #'s and the only ones allowed on the 348 challenge. Front 146290 and rear 146291.

I thought the original 348 shock was Koni. My parts catalogue has 141857 front and 141858 rear.

 

Bilsteins were stock on all 348's but valving was changed as needed. They were never adjustable but you can buy aftermarket adjustable ones. The only thing "challenge" is that some people revalved challenge car's shocks to try to gain an edge on the track. It is really no big deal. The hero of revalving is our own rxracr aka rob shermerhorn aka deltavee right here on FC. He is the man. I run his revalved shock, I like it and will use him again as needed.

So what are the aftermarket options for 348 shocks?

 

Everything works with the right conversion even the 5000.00 motons with remote reserviors

 

Thanks, but I have no idea what you are saying (though I'm fairly sure that you *aren't* saying that any shock sold from Discount Tire would work on a 348).
