Need help identifying shock absorbers please...

[DavidN]

On eBay Germany there is a pair of NOS (new old stock) Bendix shock absorbers.
The seller don't know which model exactly they will fit.
He just provides the part # and "thinks" that they will fit on R4 & R6.

Bendix # 4695077

My question... will these Bendix shock absorbers fit on my 1985 R4 F6 van?

Here's the link:

Thanks for your help!!!

They will fit, no doubt, all R4/R6 shock absorbers are physically the same. But as each R4 model had different damping rate needs, you cannot be sure they are the correct ones unless you confirm it that they are in fact made for an F6. Unfortunately I don't have any Bendix shock absorber part numbers in hand...

Thanks Angel!

So they will physically fit (same lenght/size/mount).
With the dampening rate I think it will be not very problematic.
I plan not to use the R6 for carrying heavy loads, as it will be just a "fun-car" for the summer months.
