Save on Shocks & Struts at RockAuto
Parts manufacturers fiercely compete for the limited shelf space. Sometimes a part manufacturer will even agree to buy up all a chain store's existing inventory if the chain store agrees to switch to the part manufacturer's brand. The part manufacturer then is in the awkward position of owning a bunch of their competitors' parts. Many of those parts end up being "Wholesaler Closeout" parts at RockAuto.com. RockAuto customers benefit by getting access to name-brand Wholesaler Closeout parts for a fraction of the original price.
RockAuto.com now has an especially broad selection of Wholesaler Closeout ride control products by Gabriel. "Wholesaler Closeout" means these shocks & struts have prices that would have been considered fantastic forty years ago! You can find Gabriel Shock Absorbers, Struts and Strut / Coil Spring / Mount Assemblies in the “Suspension” category of the RockAuto.com catalog for whatever you drive.
To see a full list of all the Wholesaler Closeout parts available for your vehicle(s) that can probably all ship in the same box, click the RSS icon after selecting your vehicle’s engine size in the RockAuto.com catalog, and then click on the HTML icon next to "Love a Bargain?" As with all Wholesaler Closeouts, quantities are limited, so act fast!

Thanks RA! As a note to the membership, BEFORE you install ANY part check ALL the fastening points/hardware ON THE VEHICLE to INSURE the set will install without a problem. Sometimes (too many times for me), the part ordered based on the R/A website listings, doesn't fit the vehicle mount points. Particularly important when a SET of parts are grouped in a package OR involved in a rebate package. A rebate package is voided if any part of the package is returned for a no fit issue, AND any time committed to a repair (setup like jacking/dismantling pre-repair work) which has to be reversed while waiting for R/A intervention frustrates.
Sadly, most of these issues are not able to be checked before time is spend preparing to do the repair that you bought the parts for. My point is be careful not to damage or 'conform' any parts in an attempt to install, only to have to 'eat' those parts because of damage to those parts when attempting a return. IF the parts don't fit, you must not try to force them. Just return for a credit with justification. Maybe the second parts search/order will successfully fit but then time and a lack of a rebate will drive the end cost much higher (in this type of case). BTW, pictures of WHY the parts are wrong WILL help. Don't be surprised when the R/A listing is still selling the wrong parts, I found that issue directly, and no one at R/A cared to correct the listing over a couple of months of trying to get them to change the listing. Good luck, hope everything works for YOU the first time!
