I've searched and searched coming up with a lot of conflicting numbers and obsolete part numbers for old threads.

I've got a earlier link pin beam in my buggy that uses a eye on each end shock (don't know the exact year). Can you guys name any part numbers that are known to fit currently available. Pics will be most welcome.

For the purposes of this thread alternative suspension setups are NOT open for discussion.

I'm a bit confused. Are you looking for "air" shocks to lower/raise your front end?
Or are you looking for shocks that fit your car?
65 and older cars have the eyelet on both ends of the shocks.

Good Luck.

Are you using them for air ride or just different shocks
2 numbers I know are ma824 and I think 856 both with eye to eye ends just depends on length you want
