SSRX KZN185 Parking Mirror Wanted and Shock Absorber Question

[Karen]

Hi we're new to this forum and wow there's fantastic amount of great info available on it.

So can anyone help?

We have an 'S' Reg SSRX 3L TD (KZN 185). Just failed it's mot on a couple of things so....

Anyone know the make/part numbers for front and rear original shocks. Toyota can order us some and not bad price but they need the orig part number first to check for compatability and we can't take ours off yet to read the part number. Failing that if you know any other makes and part numbers that will fit can you let me know.

ALSO Does anyone happen to have one of the small parking mirrors and casing that fits on the front n/s wing for sale as mot failed because ours is smashed.

Thanks everyone

Hi and welcome .

Have a word with Stormforce for the mirror, if he hasn't got one for the 3rd gen he may know where you can get one.
I am surprised your local dealer can't find the right part numbers for the shocks though, I'm not 100% sure on the numbers but try these:

Shock Absorber Assy Rear RH = 48530
Shock Absorber Assy Rear LH = 48540
Shock Absorber Assy Front RH = 48510
Shock Absorber Assy Front LH = 48520

You may need to put the numbers 9511-9607 in front of each of the above numbers.

I'm some knowledgeable will be along to point you in the right direction if this is wrong .

Front and rear shocks available here.

I don't see how they can fail on the little parking mirror as it isn't classed as rear view, it's only to help line the truck up with the kerb.

Oh and welcome to the forum!

[james-r]

just take the little kerb mirror off, if its on and broken its a fail, if its not on at all they cannot fail it surely

Or have a word with Scorpion and swap trucks .

you will find it bl00dy hard to find a 2nd hand mirror for the wing.On the s reg surf it may be a different mirror to the earlier 3rd gen ones.If your tester is ok then check to make sure you can just take the mirror off for the retest as you won't get one.Can you post a pic of the mirror you got on your truck and if i come across one i'll let you know

I think your right about the mirror rich cos i need one aswell & was eyeing your's up at avalanche but it looked slightly different although the mount may be the same.

[stormforce]

As my bumper sticks out further than the earlier 3rd gens there is another lense on the side of the mirror pointing down at the bumper aswell as the wheel arch.The mounts should be the same though

Mine hasn't got a little wing mirror. Pased the MoT fine without it. There were front and rear shocks for the KZN185 on ebay recently. Looked like a quality brand - can't remember which though!

I don't understand the Toyota garage bit ? I went to Pentagon Toyota they popped the bonnet took the details from the vin plate put the details on the computer told me everything I needed to know including date arrived in blighty ! parts arrived within 48hours job done Tell them to look on their database !

Hi everyone and many thanks for all the replies and help.

Did as you said (John H) and phoned Toyota again. Got someone with a brain this time and after giving them the chasis number low and behold they found the parts we needed... even better than that the last bloke at toyota said we had to buy the full shocks as the bushes weren't available on their own (which is what ours failed on) and you guessed it THE BUSHES ARE AVAILABLE after all !! So success and it only cost us £32

As for the parking mirror problem... it failed because the metal connection was sticking up from the wing so we've had it removed 'temporarily' as suggested and will put it back on if ever we manage to find one of the illusive mirrors.

Stormforce.... I cant send you a pic of the mirror we had cos it was pulled of and smashed by a vandal (not the word I would normal use to describe them but this is a public forum). I'll see if we have any photo's of the car which show it though and I'll let you know.

Cheers everyone
