Default Sierra Estate Suspension Question....

Just bought my first sierra estate at the weekend there. Its a non runner as it needs new shocks + springs at the back as they are missing.

I want to lower the car eventually, but at the min i want to know how can i tell if its got self leveling suspension in it or not??

Its a 2.0 DOHC rwd.

Anyone??

Ive read on here that the shock bolt in the trailing arm is in a different position. Is that the only way to tell from looking at it??

the shocks are different to a saph/hatch due to the said bolt.... as for self levelling there are two types..... one has a reservoir and one doesn't...... all this is irrelevent if your going to replace them anyway....

i have rear springs and shocks off my 4x4 mk1 sierra estate if you want them? the springs are wider than the hatch and saloon's also the rear shocker passes through the center of the spring if they are what you want just let me know.
