Hey, guys i"m trying to replace my rear shocks on my srt6 ,i bought Bilstien replacement"s they do not fit they are to long new ONES 20" old 181/4. Can fined no spec"s on aftermarket shocks other than monroe they show p/n 39045 which has same spec"s as the oem"S. Bilstien, offers a sport shock for lowered cars which are supposed to be shorter! cAN FIND NO SPECs

Has anyone replaced their rear shocks without lowering. If so please list part # with length if you have them.
I checked factory replacement shocks which are made by Zf sachs Chrysler want 330$ to 550$each for replacements oucH

Now if you have replaced r shocks when lowered can someone measure them for length and travel and then compare the to the monroe info below

BUMP anyone??

 

I can't help you with any measurement but, I can tell you that when I installed Konis on my 6, I noticed they also were nearly 2 inches longer than the oem shocks. I was assured by Koni that they would fit fine and there would be no bottoming out. I'm not lowered and I've had no issues whatsoever in 6 months on the Konis. Although, I do wish I'd taken photos and measurements for future reference.

 

Hey T,
I have been running on the KYBs on all corners for a couple of years now and couldn't be happier. I'm not lowered but several guys run them on lowered setups with no problems. You can read Lantana's comments about them here:

KYB Gas-A-Just Monotubes - Front part# KG4731 and Rear part# KG4732

You can find them @ Rock Auto for around $55 ea. fronts & $63 ea. rears.
You may also still find them on Ebay, where I found mine.
Just search under the 2001 SLK320 to find them.

Also...Summit has them for $57.07 ea rears.

Thanks guys, for the info. I must be doing something wrong! I installed using all the oem old mounts and it rides like a car with no springs and a very loud noise when crossing very small bumps in the road! I have installed many shocks and never had a problem! Danny

 

Did you solve this?
