I read in one Stovebolt post that I need Monroe accessory pack (adapter) AK32 for the front, but when I tried to search it, that part came up as obsolete. It looks pretty clear to me: Remove bolts, remove and replace unit. Monroe also says I need "parts packs" P572&P576. Those don't appear, even on their own site.
Voluminous searching has only confused me more. A little clarification would be appreciated. Thanks

I got shocks at a local parts store, but I ended up returning & getting all four from Summit with a limited 50%-off sale. ($40 vs. $80). I like to keep business local, but $40... You'll probably want some rubber bushing - safe lube; the new shocks will fit tight. Edit- there are two types of shocks you probably read about. I'm referring to the 1-1/2" to 2" (est.) 20" long (again, estimated) cylinders (4 total) that mount on front & rear. Brad
