S1 shock absorbers

[Phil Laing]

Does anyone know if there are shock absorbers manufactured by Gabriel, Armstrong or Monroe which would be suitable for an S1. (Front and rear)

Monroe makes shocks for Fulvia. I don't know about the others

[Ralph de Masi]

I bought Monroe shocks for the Fulvia many years ago from Mike Kristick. In retrospect I should have gone for the extra few dollars and bought the Koni's (I think) that he also had for the Fulvia. I later replaced the Monroes with the shocks sold on the Viva-Lancia site and I'm very happy with them.

If you need the Monroe shocks let me know; I might have kept the model number in my records. By the way that was for a Series 1 car.

Hi, I would appreciate it if you could send me model numbers, but I need for a series 2.

Another alternative is Spax - pt numbers are:
G3312 Front
G3318 Rear

They are £100 a pair

See here for a long discussion on them:

Today same shock serves all Fulvia's, S1 and S2, berlina, coupe, Zagato. I am not too impressed by the Monroe's either but they are low cost and usually available.

I would recommend AVO - very helpful UK based staff and superb shocks for S1

[Ralph de Masi]

The Monroe shocks are their Radial-Matic line. The front are R2062 while the rear are R3230.

I'd recommend the original decarbons!

I think they can be bought on this site.
