Shocking Dilemma

[Duke]

My eyes are going crosseyed from searching,so I'll ask here. What is everyone doing for the rear shock if it is not a pin type? I just bought Monroe gasmatics from Lordco, the fronts appear to be the right type (PN550012) but the rears that they gave me are eye/eye (PN33074) but the van is a eye/pin. Am I missing something here? Does a bracket have to be made or do I just have the wrong part number? I got the numbers from the wiki. The van is also stock height. I'm in no rush to do this, the weekend looks crappy. Thanks all.

Hi Chris

Monroe # 33074 rear shock is for a Gen I Montero/Pajero. eye to eye. It will not fit the Delica L300.

The front Monroe # 550012 is also .75" longer stroke than the stock delica shock specs. It is also for a Gen I Montero/Pajero.

Someone should pull those monroe #'s off the wiki. They are for the wrong application.

Well, isn't that just great.
Thank you Jesse, you saved me a couple of hours of aggrivation and from shouting obsenities at the top of my lungs.
So I guess the question remains, what is the correct part numbers for the front and back shocks for a stock height Deli? I've looked at the Japaniod site and for the rears they are over $200 for the set. I can't believe there isn't anything made North American that won't fit.
I know shocks are sold on an application basis, are they sold on lenght and configuration? You know, 15" eye/eye, 20"eye/pin?
Or is the only other solution to give the van a lift? I'm not against the idea, it's just more cash than I'm planning for.
An idea for the wiki would to be shocks in catagory for stock, 1"lift, 2"lift, etc....
Thanks again Jesse
Well, off to Lordco to return parts. They look at me strange when I say Mitsubishi Delica "A what?"
