Shock absorber height between axes 290mm spring 8mm

Rear shock absorber with a red spring: the name gives 290 mm between axes and an 8 mm spring. The photo has none of these numbers – no dimension at all is marked on it.

• Honestly: the maker did not write any size on this photo. Everything we know about the dimensions is taken from the name, not from the drawing
• The photo shows a red spring, a black body and two eyes with pressed-in bushes
• The neighbouring cards in this row do have dimensions marked: if you want to see both the overall length and the eye bore in the drawing, look at the 270 mm and 325 mm cards
• Measure from the centre of one eye to the centre of the other – that is exactly the length the name gives. The part's total length including the edges of the eyes is always greater; some photos give it as a separate number, some do not
• The second size you need to match is the eye bore: a bolt thicker than the bore will not go in, and a thinner one will let the eye play
• The spring wire's thickness changes the stiffness: a thicker wire means a firmer ride. If your old spring was thinner, the ride will get firmer even if the length matches
• It is time to replace it when oil is weeping from the rod, when the spring has sagged, or when a worn eye bush has started rattling over bumps
• Shock absorbers in this row sit in the shop under two categories – some under "Chassis & suspension", some under the "Shock absorbers" subcategory. If you do not find the right length here, open the other one too

To be straight with you: neither the overall length nor the eye bore is given anywhere for this card – not in the name, not in the photo. Which exact model and which years this item fits, the maker did not state, and we do not guess – but we can compare dimensions: write us your model and year. Before ordering, measure your old shock absorber from eye centre to eye centre and the eye bore diameter – or send a photo: we will check it before you order.
