Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 rear shocks and springs

[Darren Siepka]

I got some r11007 Monroe's from a old stock place based in Italy just
before lockdown for £35 delivered the pair!
The seller was agmotordiginatoandrea.
I don't know if he has any more.
They were delivered very quickly.
I have nothing to do with them just a happy customer

[Quantum Owners] 2+2 rear shocks and springs

[Sonia]

After 23 years it is probably time to change the rear springs and shock 
absorbers on our 2+2, plus they came up as advisories on the last MOT. Just 
want to check we are looking at the right parts before we order

Rear springs
We have seen on previous forum posts that 1.1 Fiesta springs should be used 
which would make them KYB  RA5045 Diam 10 mm Length 307 mm, or 
presumably equivalents? We have found cross references to FORD - 
OE-6132823, LESJÖFORS - OE-24047020, and MONROE: SP0686. We can buy a pair 
of the LESJÖFORS from onlinecarparts.co.uk for around £47 delivered

Rear shock absorbers
Research on the online KYB catalogue seems to show it is the same shock 
absorber for all engine sizes of both Mk1 and Mk2 Fiestas, ie KYB 332004 
which are available on eBay for around £70 per pair delivered

So, the questions are
- are the above the correct parts for our 2+2?
- are the prices above competitive?
- are there equivalents to the KYB 332004 shock absorbers which are more 
cost effective? (Don't want/need anything fancy or adjustable. Have been 
happy with ride for over 100,000 miles with what we already have and would 
probably never get around to doing any adjustments anyway!)

We would welcome input from anyone with more knowledge than us (which is 
probably most of you)

Thanks

Sonia & Pete

Re: [Quantum Owners] Wheel alignment

[chris.quant via Quantum Owners Group]

Toe in should be parallel. Camber can’t be adjusted unless you have specialist 
bolts. It should be 90 degrees to the road.

Hi All, Can anyone tell me what toe in/out (front & rear) camber and castor 
angles are recommended for the saloon?

RE: [Quantum Owners] Wheel alignment

[susanandmartin]

I think the same as the original Fiesta (there may be a note in the build 
manual available on the club website?) From memory 0-1/8 inch tow out at the 
front. Unless you have specialist parts you won’t be ble to change the camber 
or castor.
Martin.
 p.s. I did an article for CKC a couple of years ago showing how to measure 
using a couple of laser levels/pointers, bricks and target boards – works well 
and takes a bit of time (although quicker/ cheaper than a garage visit. One of 
the other contributors showed an alignment method using straight edges in a 
recent issue as well.
