Can anyone help me. I am looking for highjacker air shocks for my car like the ones in the thread below. I have been looking all around for them but have not been able to find any.

try JCWhitneys
or google

i have monroe air shocks and they are alright but tend to leak

I tried jcwhitney and google, but every site I go to, they do not have them for my car. This is cheaper than doing bags, so I rather find these.

It might SAY that they arent for your car
But NONE Will

as long as they have the lengths you want
and the mounting eyelet
(or bottom eyelet and top post for bugs i think)

then they will fit

take a look at your current shocks and the mounting PDF in the link above and you will understand

i have monroe's for like a truck and with a little modding
they fit GREAT

these were on my 70 square

monroe MA803's i think

i dont have pics of the current ones but i think they are MA785s


wish i could find a Gabriel mounting sheet for their shocks

autozone carries the ones i use, they are for the rear of a 70 bug but also work on swingaxle and the link pin front and they also come with a lifetime warrantee, they are $69 a pair

what is the part number on the ones you are talking about

vic Thu Mar 18, 2010 10:10 pm

im not to sure, dont have a box around here but they are highjackers

2 minutes on autozone and i found these:

http://www.autozone.com/autozone/catalog/parts/par...entId=46-0

part number: 49307

they are there listed for a 73 square too.

no mention of a front air shock, you might have to do your own research on that.
