    Confusing, do you want your shocks rebuilt/accumulators replaced or your suspension joints rebuilt? If both are in need of help, doing only one will not fix the problem.

    Assuming you need your shocks rebuilt —common problem. Good idea to replace your bushings and shock accumulators at the same time.

    Any suspension shop can do the r/r. The bushings can be had from SPUK and the accumulators from Amazon.

    The shocks are a HUGE problem. Currently there is only one company that will rebuild them completely including the top seal on the stalk for the accumulator adjustment.

    DELTA VEE is the place. See thread a few more down for that issue (6mos turn around plus other issue).

    What shop is going to tie up a lift or space for that long?

    bilstien uk will rebuild them for much less money and time but won’t touch the top seal.

    SPUK sells replacements for like 1300 sterling each! People feel these are poor quality and will require rebuilding shortly.

    There is a group here trying to find an alternative to DV but I don’t expect that will happen shortly.

    Good luck!
