1VJ shock same as 34L ?
Hi All,

is the 1VJ shock same as 34L shock?

can anyone help me with this question, they look the same except paint colour, or is the spring different?

cheers
Andy

as you can see my original shock has seen better days

Hey there... Why won't you just try it on? If you have doubts if it is the same..which I think is probably just the spring length, just grab a Vernier caliper and measure both top and lower inner and outer diameters and lengths of the "holes" on each end! it's that easy mate!

just wondered if anyone knew if there was a difference in spring rate etc. I'm sure the 'holes' are the same

cheers
