    This part number worked great for me! Thanks!

    Added Tid Bit: The cross reference P/N at AutoZone is a shock that is $19.99 each... if you want/need to spend even a little less.

    Thanks for the info! Funny how parts stores can't find what you need unless you give them a part number. They told me they were unavailable.

    That happened to me last year at Auto Zone...they said the part I was looking for, number or not, didn't exist in their comp.

    A couple of blocks down the street O'Reilly's not only had it, but had me checked-out and on my way in about 5 min. !

    After running my own business's since 1973, I always say:

    "The person behind the counter is the MOST important person in your business. You don't need a customer to buy just one item and never come back. You need 'em to come back anytime their looking for what you supply.

    So the person behind the counter is the one that better treat them right, help them as much as they can, and really know the products you have available so that the customers can rely on your store for what they need.

    If you don't meet those qualities, the customer will end up making your compe***or's a lot of money...while all you're left with is paying the rent."

    I cut a coil in the front which dropped it about 2 inches. These shocks were perfect and the price can't be beat.
