Two different businesses, two different mfg and in both cases they were the same length. I double checked both and the part numbers were for a 2004-2008 Crossfire. I let the floor jack all the way down and still won't fit into the bottom lower control arm. Is it necessary to unbolt the sway bar? Even then if I can attach it just seems too long next to the one I took off. Will the new "Gas Shocks" compress that far? I'm not even sure the old shock is bad as I'm chasing noises in the passenger side hoping for miracles! LoL. Ball joints and steering tie rod linkage has also been changed.
