Another email from Terry (Traumjaegercat)
Happy Easter holiday thanks for the reply. I've amazed myself by getting the info to you. The picture as you said is for the rear and I took it off because it was jammed but after a good clean up and some new oil it freed up a treat. The front ones do have a straight arm. The rest of the info I'm not to certain on. They are Lovejoy Delco's. The other difference is that they have tapered holes in the link fixings and when I took the car for it's MOT the links were picked up as needing attention. I feel that this system is a weak design and is the reason that I want to change them for the correct ones. I hope that this gives you some idea of the situation as it is an odd one. The situation with "link fixings", which I think means the lever arms on the shocks, is a concern. However I'm sure a little bit of engineering would rectify that. Whether the shocks are the same I also don't know because of my inexperience with them. I'll check Wades for numbers and markings on them and post what I find after Easter. Could you check yours for numbers and markings and post those too?

Tom,
Thanks, any light you can shed on this will no doubt help.

And Dave,
Thanks too, if there is a difference can you give some further info as to what it might be? I think Wade may have a parts book but I'm not sure if he does.
