The old shocks were wore out and looked original but not sure, no rebound to speak of and the right was worse than the left so I needed some replacements anyway.
Cost: <$100.00,
Time to remove lower T brace: <20 mins,
Set up new shocks: 2 hours,
Time to install: @ 2 hours.
Shock info: Monroe air shocks(2), # MA822,
Air line kit info: AK29, (adapts air to non-air suspension). Includes shock to air line fitting, air line, fill valve.
Shocks come standard on these cars that are equipped with Air-Ride Suspension, as well as others:
01 Park Avenue,
05 Buick LeSabre,
95 OLDS AURORA,
00-05 Cadillac Deville.
