It does not say anything on the bottom of the car, but on the box it says Kansas City MO and Made In Vietnam. Sorry if the 2nd picture is sideways, that's how it loaded

What brand? Reason I ask is because the big two - Monroe & Gabriel, I THINK are made here. I might be wrong though.

Sorry for the slight hijack.

Looking on there main website, they talk themselves up good until the last line.... we do some in China.

I think the mopar shocks are made in the usa, if the ones I need are I will send these back and buy through mopar.

$15.00? Geez! You did better than me! I picked this Superbird up about 12 or so years ago.
