Shock absorber height between axes 270mm spring 8mm

Rear shock absorber, red spring: the name gives 270 mm between the eyes and 8 mm spring, and on the photo the 270 mm is marked between the eye centres.

• We measured the arrows off: the second line, 295 mm, matches the whole outline of the part. That is the overall length, while 270 mm is the gap between the eyes that matters for fitting
• The Ø 8 mm arrow rests on the wire of the spring coil, not on an eye
• The name and the drawing on this page agree — both give 270 mm
• There is a second page of the same 270 mm length — with 7 mm wire and Ø 12 mm eye holes marked. On this one the wire is thicker, 8 mm
• Measure from the centre of one eye to the centre of the other — that is the length the name gives. The whole length of the part, out to the edges of the eyes, is always greater; on some photos it is given as a figure of its own, on others it is not there
• The second size that has to match is the eye hole: a bolt thicker than the hole will not go in, and a thinner one will let the eye rattle
• The thickness of the spring wire changes the stiffness: thicker wire, a harder ride. If your old spring was thinner, the ride will become harder even though the length matches
• Time to replace it when oil is weeping from the rod, when the spring has sagged or when a loose bush in the eye knocks over bumps
• The shock absorbers of this range sit in two categories in the shop — some in the "Chassis & suspension" section, some in the "Shock absorbers" sub-category. If you do not find the right length here, open the second one too

To be straight with you: the diameter of the eye holes is not marked on the drawing. Which exact model and which years this product is for, the maker did not state, and we do not guess — but matching dimensions is something we can do: write us your model and year. Before ordering, measure your old shock absorber from eye centre to eye centre, and the diameter of the eye hole — or send a photo: we will check it before you order.
