Hi everyone.  New to the group, so please be gentle if I come across stupid or ignorant.

We're from South Africa, and the better half loves her baby Pajero.  I have to say, it's rather neat for town driving.  We also changed from my rather large vehices to her baby when doing game drives.  Lovely all round view.

Now, my problem, and yes, I did try to search here, but no success.

The rear shocks listed for the Junior is KYB 343480.  Not easy to source in South Africa, without having it imported.  Are there any other brand names/models that you guys can recommend?  Monroe etc?

With that also the fronts.  Currently on the vehicle is KYB MR234054.  The vehice is a Japanese '99 Pajero Junior.

Any advice would be dearly appreciated.

Thanks for the offer.  The

Thanks for the offer.  The chassis number is H57A0043433

I know the rears should be KYB 343480, but I can't source those in South Africa.

I managed to find a set of KYB 343472.  I think those are standard Toyota Avanza?

Mod required to the top steel insert of the KYB 343472. It is 12mm ID, and you need to drill it out to 13mm to fit the Junior's fixed stud.  The bottom fits pefect.

That is one problem solved.

Now for the front, which I believe the OEM part is KYB 333459 for which I've (not yet) been able to find a replacement.
