Alternator still sitting at $39 with NO bids, clutch kit $49 NO bids.....
Shock absorbers are sitting at $39 with two bids.....
Postage costs on the auctions are maximum cost for anywhere in Australia- if Aust Post charges less to your location then that's all I will charge (message me before paying.)
Shock absorbers have 4 hours left, alternator and clutch finish tomorrow afternoon.

Also if the RRP is $170+ then i wont feel so bad.
I went out for the afternoon and couldn't believe it when I got back! List price when I bought them was $175 plus GST.
You won't be disappointed as they're in excellent condition and should make a huge difference if you've still got original shocks!! Have you got the electronic three way adjustables on your Feroza or just the normal shocks (no adjuster on your dash)? Three way adjustables are harder to change....
Easy peasy to change. If you've got a set of ramps, set them up on diagonally opposed wheels, then drive up on 'em. The one that's at or near full droop will unbolt from the top ( a bit tight for space, but still easy enough), the bottom should be simple. Stick the new one in, tighten it all up and repeat on the other side.
Or you can just jack her under the chassis on one side.
The usual precautions are of cause obvious. SUPPORT the vehicle and chock the wheels before getting underneath.
For the top bolts - fold up your rear seats and pull the carpet up in the rear (easy, it's held down by press studs.) You'll find two small access covers that are held down by two (?) bolts on either side above the shocks. Take these covers off and you get easy access to the top nut on the shock. You might have to unbolt the rear seats, but that doesn't take long.
If the shock "free spins" when you try to undo the top nut then there should be some sort of fitting on the shaft end to hold it (eg. an allen key in the shaft centre or the shaft end might be flattened fit a small spanner.)
You might need to persuade the old bottom shock mounts to slide them off- I think you can lever them off with a long screwdriver against the leaf pack from memory?
Actually I've never jacked it up to change them on mine- just slide in underneath from the rear. Being gas shocks they will slowly extend by themselves which can make aligning them on the mounts a PITA.
Bank account details should come up when you check out. Let me know when you've paid so I can check my account- I'll be posting some stuff off tomorrow, so will do them then if it's cleared.
They're very well packaged so you should have no issues with Australia Post playing soccer or cricket with them . Oops, I think Big Stu works for Aussie Post . I hate buying stuff and all it turns up in is a plastic Express Post type bag.....
Just on an offnote... Had my first wheel alignment in about 12 months of wheeling. Was off a by fair bit!
What fits the front that is also cheap, murcod?
Actually there are some older model Monroe shocks on Ebay combined with a cheap looking air fliter. Supposedly the shocks are new, but they look a bit suss to me? Anyway, I checked the part number and they are fronts. Not sure what the price was?
I've only had the Bilsteins on the front and they're certainly not cheap. Wish they were....
My alignment is out too, but it was courtesy of the idiots who did it last time. It was drving better before I took it in, now it tramlines and is very darty to drive. Sometimes compulsory alignments for tyre warranties can be a PITA; it's due again now so I'll be saying something this time if they stuff it again.
"Hi there! I know they do look worn – but they have never been used. We bought them off ebay ourselves for our daughter and since the accident they have been living underneath her bed!! I can assure you they have never been used – they just have some scratches from being under her bed! Thanks for asking, regards Coralie."

Hmm?
Okay.... so if this person is telling the truth, they were jipped by the last people...

Bite the bullet and get a good brand shocky, not just something from the wrecker.. you will thank yourself in the long run.
I got Rancho's and the handling difference is amazing!

I just did a quick search on this site http://www.gtsuspension.com.au/ and the listed "Ride Pro" shock came up as being to fit a "Mitsubishi Triton/ Pajero" on the pricing page!?
They list KYB's for $77 ea.
Out of interest I was just on the Monroe site and that part number on the Ebay auction matches these shocks:
I went out for the afternoon and couldn't believe it when I got back! List price when I bought them was $175 plus GST. 
Wish they were....
Holy crap- I had them for sale on here for less than that!!!
