Shocks?

BQS4 · 10-07-2005

Does anyone know if shocks (front & rear) from the "B" series Manta/Ascona will fit the "A" series Manta/Ascona?

The fronts are definitely different, but I'm not sure about the rears. They mount the same way on the rear axle, but the length may be different.

The KONI homepage shows the same type (82-1801) for the Ascona A&B rear axle. Ascona A fronts are not available, but there is a number listed for Ascona B --> they must be different then.
Manta A & B show different rear types, and here again there are no fronts listed for the A.
I can check different other sources, will come back later.
