  5. Done the search through the spec sheet smany times. Once you have a Monroe part number, go to Autozone or similar and put that P/N in. Get the Gabriel P/N equivalent and then on Gabriel.com site; it has a link where you put the Gabriel P/N and it tells you what car/truck application fits that shock. I have had good luck then searching by the car application to find new NOS shocks on ebay for cheap. You can also put the Monroe or Gabriel P/N in ebay and it will find sometimes. The key is to find a seller that has old stock from a closed store or similar and you buy them cheap.

    Or look at the gabriel site to begin with, they have a similar spec sheet page. Thej do the application search.
