Hi folks,

Can anyone tell me the u.k. part number for kyb rear shocks for my 73 challenger? i've spoken to a retailer and quoted the part numbers i saw in an earlier thread, but i think they use different part numbers for the u.k market?

many thanks jim

I don't buy American car parts in the UK if i can help it. It is usually cheaper to get them from the US. Even more so now with the weak Dollar.

I got the following numbers from http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/ :

1970-1974 Dodge Challenger - KYB Rear Shock Absorber - Gas-a-just
Our Price: $38.95
Part Number: KYKG5512
MFR#: KG5512

Hope it helps? Unique numbers for the UK market sounds a bit silly to me. I hope that is not true. They should be able to help you out if you have the numbers above. Otherwise thay are no good. :s022:
