I’m having continuous problems with the front shocks failing continuously between 6 to 8000 kms the front right always goes first, furthermore I am having alignment problems, 9Camber) the wishbones have recently been changed but still no joy. I have fitted Old Man Emu's a while back with the same result.

if you are having alignment problems have the frame checked for being bent or one of the control arms or bushings worn out

Thanks for the quick response, will that also cause the shocks to fail?

it might but it depends on what kind of roads and how it's driven for that and if they are cheap shocks or not.
