Hi all, I'm looking into replacing rear shocks on my 97 grang voyager with I believe the Novimex load levers shocks. I tried getting them at auto parts stores not available only found them at the dealers at $300.00 each. Has anyone found them anywhere else. I would like to replace them because of the mileage and time and they don't carry a load like they used to. Also are air shocks available for this van (last resort).
Nivomat. You *CANNOT* just install the Nivomat shocks on a vehicle which did not originally have them. They are part of a complete system, and other different components are required.
You may have an easier time finding them once you make the herculean effort to spell them correctly. So far you've written "Novomat", "Novimex", "Novomex", "Novimat" and a few others, just in this thread alone. That last one was almost close; you had all the right letters, just in the wrong order. Try again: N. I. V. O. M. A. T.
Now that you can spell it, learn about it. These units are made by ONE company: Boge. They are going to be several hundred dollars apiece; that is what they cost. There is no way to get around that, unless you're prepared to rip out the entire load-levelling system and install a conventional rear suspension. The shocks will then cost only about $40/ea or so, but you will have spent a great deal of money in the changeover, and you'll wind up with a less versatile rear suspension.
