i threw this question out in the no drivetrain forum, but less people frequent there, so here it is.

I have a broken shock on the rear pass. side. Now i am leaving for holidays in about 2 hours and want too get this fixed. Does anyone know an oem replacement, so i dont have too go too the dealer, or is it safe too replace both rear shocks with aftermarket units, and leave the fronts alone for now??

 

you will be fine if you replace the rears and not the fronts.

just replace both rears

I'm not that impressed with the OEM shocks anyways, so i would change them out for some billsteins (sp?) or maybe rancho 9000.


have fun on your trip

well i answered my own question....oem's are 100 canbucks......a little steep if you ask me!!

 

you can get pretty nice aftermarket shock for that price.

good luck

 

I have bilsteins and am not THAT impressed. its almost time for tires again so that may help....10,000 and melted 6 toyo tires....dang. I guess white smoke displays are expensive

 

well i got procomp 9000's, got the 2 rear ones on (for less than 1 oem), and the 2 fronts will have too wait untill after holidays. I got about 12 miles on the rear procomps now for a test run, and so far i am impressed. Used too have alot of axle tramp if i tried too get on it too quick from a stop light, now i get some good smoke and maybe 2 tramps in there....we will see on this 2500 mile trip how they hold up.
