Never bother with secondhand shocks, its not worth the money, and you dont know how buggered they are. You may as well buy new, get some Monroe 4x4 shocks, not that expensive and pretty good for off roading. Wink

If they are the wishbone bushes, some times on cars it is cheaper to get a replacement wishbone, not main dealer though! No idea of pricing for the trooper though

If it's the big bushes in the lower arms i think they need a puller tool to remove, torsion bar bolts onto the arm too.
