Joe L. part no. help

[Edward J.]

Joe, There is a set of shocks for sale with a part no. 5565307 . they look like they may fit a corvette, With the exception of the lower shock gromment. is not as the corvette.they maybe a pass. car.
If the over all length is the same I should I be able to use?The rubbers should be able to remove. and replace with the correct ones.? these are older Delco replacments. from the mid 60.s.

Thnaks, Ed

Is the part number an on-shock part number or is it the number on a box the shocks are packaged in? I usually cannot identify shocks, especially replacement shocks, from the on-shock part numbers.

I'd think twice before using shocks whose application is unknown. Aside from the jounce/rebound valving specifics, the fully extended and compressed length is VERY unique to each application, with hard stops at both extremes; if they're wrong, you can damage the suspension components.
