Well, it's tax time and with the large return... Im sure I'll recieve...I would like to replace the ever so worn rear shocks on the 'ole 91 Q45. Is there an after market shock/strut Monroe, Gabrial etc? Or would it be best to stick with the "Scottsdale parts guru"!? How difficult would this be to do ourselves? Possibly, it is best left to those with hydrolic lifts, air tools and wear their names embroidered on their shirt pockets?

Definitely recommend the Tokico Blues.

Hit up Joe or any of our other OEM parts sponsors, they're your best bet to restore "as-new" ride quality.

Call Joe or another dealer sponsor here for the new rubber required. Don't forget the sway bar bushings and the links in the rear.
