Front shocks / struts

Post by eric.geiger »

anyone have a source for new front shocks?? obviously OEM is out of the question but anyone have any leads on aftermarket.
I've seen the post on the rear aftermarket ones listed but nothing on fronts.
Thanks!

Why do you think your struts & shocks are shot? The only aftermarket fronts I have ever seen are Koni. Good luck with that - I have only seen 1 pair in 31 years. Koni also made rear shocks - you might find some of those.
You could also rebuild your struts if the chrome plating is good, change the seals and add new oil. Kevin Keogh had repro rear shocks avail a couple years ago.

I dont think they are.  I'm just compiling a list of all items and where to find them for myself.
