Anyone have any or know where I can buy a pair of rear "oil" filled shocks?? I am looking for the least expensive type brand, loosest traveling, no frills, oil filled long shock that would be the correct length for the rear of a 69 or 70 C-body car?? E-mail - Challengers1970@aol.comThanks in advance!!! ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)

I think the only non-gas charged shocks you might find are the old Koni's for around $125 each
I didn't come across those in my google search , but hiltopap has 2 pairs of the a/c delcos I linked above ...

Thanks!!! Man.....whatever happened to the common....good ole, USA made, ordinary, inexpensive replacement parts?? Seems like they are getting tougher to find.....
I was just in an O'Reily's auto parts store and saw the entire line up of Monroe shocks and the bottom shock the Monroe-Matic-Plus looks like an air/oil shock so I asked the you kid who was processing my purchase if that's what they were?
I was floored when the young kid said "I don't know, do they make such a thing" I said can you ask someone else? "Naw they wouldn't know either" I got so pis...miffed that I walked out and for got my credit card and had to go back and get it ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh2.gif)
I'll check out the Monroe Matic's and see what they are and how much they are too.

Don't all shocks have oil movement through valving or orifices, gas charged or not??
I thought the gas charging was an added feature for whatever purpose...maybe sales hype??
Joe
Nitrogen charged shocks are a feature as the nitrogen is more stable in high heat applications and the gas pressure (usually 100+ psi) helps keep the shock fluid from "cavitating" when the shaft/piston moves very quickly like when hitting a pothole a speed. A shock with a gas/oil separator (Dr. De Carbon type) is even better because it keeps the gas/air from emulsifying or aerating reducing the damping.
