Is there any difference between Mk4 Escort Van FRONT shock absorbers and Mk4 Escort (car) FRONT shock absorbers. They look physically the same (from memory, mind) but are they longer or shorter, softer or stiffer etc....

i.e. My mate has some BNIB sachs shock absorbers for a mk4 escy van. And I want em as replacements for the onion - will it work and is this a good or bad idea...?

Any info mucho appreciated.

 

i think they are the same pal

 

They are most likely different if ford ones, but pattern will almost defo be the same, as they do this to standardise the range.
Check the part no's with ford.
