Hahahaha,I lived in Turkey a while,,, and I can see why, lol
Joke joke joke joke - I swear...

 

It will transform the car. The squeaking is the rubbers/washers at the top of the front shock having gone home and allowed the shock rod to move against the bodywork hole. Boges always come with new washers and rubbers in my experience. I am talking about parts 4, 5, 6 ,7 in this diagram:

Beautiful. Thank you. Diagrams are ALWAYS welcome. I am so much more a visual kind of critter... The first time I ever drove her, maybe before or during that drive, those rubber bushings went up in a poooof of dust. Replaced them a couple of years ago, then again with a set that looked more like rubber than the yellowish foam... My squeaks (both sides) seem to come from the area of the shocks silver shaft in the body of the shock... I purchased some moly dry lube spray in the mean time,,, haven't applied it yet, but hoping it will give me some relief until the switch...

I have a new set of upper and lower ball joints, both sides, and the things I need to renew all of the FI connectors as, at this point, them thangs is just holding on.

You must know how excited I am about all of this.

 

I don’t recall getting those when I got my set of Boges, however the Sachs I received does come with 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. I bought Moog rubbers, the rubber still seems fine, but I’ll be using the parts that came with the Sachs.

The shocks may have given up the ghost 10,000 miles ago. They have 50k miles on them now, but I tell you, they were flat out dead. I can’t believe my car wasn’t screaming for new shocks a while ago.

according the Sachs website, if you love the Sachs shocks, get em now....they are “no longer available by the manufacturer.”

 

I dunno...

Was just talking to a great guy at Welsh Enterprises...
He gave me a GREAT deal on Woodhead Shocks, I was calling about Boge rear shocks.

He told me that Welsh and Woodhead had been going back and forth forth for a LONG time about the quality and character of these shocks. Said to be the exact of Boge. That Woodhead, in Turkey, used to work for Boge and bought all the tooling for the production from Boge etc etc
He sold me. I bought four... Am I a dope?
What's with this Woodhead brand?
Anyone have any thoughts?

 

i have a set on the rear of XJS , been about a yr, so far OK!
i also use an Electric fan from Turkey, works great NO problems , cools just fine!
quality is as good as anything else i see!

 

You do? Tell more!?

This is my first EVER set O new shocks and I was afraid I made a misstep...

I just got an email from Welsh. Looks like they are having a SUPER shock sale....

 

Jay , mine seem to be OK , no probs. altho car rides more firm in rear, but handles fine!
i have done business with WELSH and always had excellent service, and pricing usually good!
