Title: KYB rear Shocks for wagons!
Post by: osiyo59 on May 18, 2007, 05:17:06 PM
Ok wagon owners, I have been hunting for KYB shocks for the rear of my wagons for a little while and had no luck until now. After a couple phone calls to KYB I discovered that the part number for these shocks was discontinued. However, with the help of one of their techs and my local All Parts Auto store, I found one that will work on the wagons. The KYB part number is KG5517. At full extension it is about a half inch longer than the stock Ford shock and at full compression about an inch longer, but unless you are going off road with it these will work just fine. just thought i would put this out there in case anyone was needing this info.

With that being said................are they super expensive, like every other set of rear shocks for the wagons?
