Thanks Craig, Thanks Greg.
Driving to work a couple of days back after I swapped the rear over to Lovells and put the rebushed MRR's back in, I had knocking from the back. It appears the failed bushes were not the culprit as I thought (although they were fubar), the shocks themselves are shot. So yesterday I swapped those MRR's out with the backup OME nitrocharger units I have been using in the interim. Knock gone - therefore so are the MRR rears.
I decided to keep the billie rears as a new spare until I screw the OME units. I got the OME units in Newman after bailing out on the CSR due to the initial hose failure of the MRR's. It's all I could get - and they were personally delivered by the state sales manager from Tom Price, who just happened to be there the day before I hit Newman. Newman had no stock.
In fairness, I have no axe to grind with Dobinson. As an Aussie manufacturing business, we should all try to support that. I gave them a fair shot and it hasn't worked for me. Mind you, as you mention Greg, I do use my Paj more than most ever would. I'm even having thoughts as to whether a vehicle change is required. Am I putting the Paj beyond what it was ever designed for?
So the dilemma I have is: continue on with a product that is shot and has given me a few headaches or cut the losses and try something else. I chose the latter this time around. Only time will tell if that was the right decision or not.
It becomes an expensive game.
