Re: Replacement Shocks for T31
Scot,
Who told you the factory shocks are only good for upto 100K??
I have seen T30 xtrails with over 250,000kms on the clock on the factory shocks, so unless you are transporting bricks everyday, nothing should go wrong with your shock for many years to come.

Re: Replacement Shocks for T31
I agree with Jalal on that one, it all depends on what sort of driving and load carrying you do.
Although, when I got the lifted coils in, the installer did say cause of the 35mm hight, the shocks will deteriate quicker. Now that there is 35mm less travel in them.

They offered me a Pedders shock at the time, I think by memory they quoted me just over the $1000 mark to replace with a better shock with more travel.

Re: Replacement Shocks for T31
I have been trying to replace the rear shocks on my X-trail with some better quality shocks (the standard are rubbish when they get hot). Wow is this a task and a half. Tried a few 4x4 places and they basically had no idea so just said 'we don't have anything that suits the X-trail'. Surely eye to eye shocks are not that difficult to match.
Anyway I then tried ARB. After initially telling me they had ordered them in, I chased them up after a week and all of a sudden they don't make eye to eye shocks for the X-trail. They tried to tell me it's struts on all corners. After a small argument I told them I would take photos to prove it. Another week has passed and the goons still have no clue. I have called probably 10 times over the last 2 weeks chasing this up until finally today they tell me they can't help me. Seriously ARB has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Absolute joke. Man it annoys me what a strangle hold they have on the 4x4 market.
On the phone to Pedders and apparently the Trak Ryder shocks are due to be released for the T31 within the next 2-3 weeks (still waiting for confirmation). So that's the likely path for me.
