Edsel shock absorber question

[wbedwards]

Having some trouble finding reasonable priced rear shocks for my 1959 Ranger. My shocks have the post on both ends. Most catalogs dont show this. I can find the right looking shocks for the Galaxie but not the Ranger. Is the Ranger similar enough to the 1959 Galaxie to use the parts?

thanks in advance

If you are talking about the rear, Rockauto has them from $11.97 up. The fronts are like a Ford and that works; Rockauto from $15.97 up. These are Monroe shocks. Add shipping of course but I find their rates to be very good.

Your Ranger is a Galaxie under the sheet metal.

Same as the '59 Ford shocks. I forget where I got mine but I shopped around. It was either Amazon, eBay or Rock Auto.

If you want a better ride: http://www.ebay.com/itm/KYB-KG5517-...ash=item235c7259f0:g:Et4AAOSwYHxWOg27&vxp=mtr The cheapy is the Monroe31069 Here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Monroe-3106...ash=item2a6ee8a3ea:g:tVQAAOxy~ilSO090&vxp=mtr You may want to factor in rockautos shipping charges to see the best deal,I recently bought some plug wires and the ground shipping and handling was more than the wires.

I bought the set at RockAuto today. Delivered for the four was 77 bucks. Thats pretty good compared to the other choices I had.

Got them on today. The car had what looked like new Monroe's on it. The fronts were bad but the rears were still good. Replaced all 4 at it really drives better.
