Bummer, another dud! Carpartswholesale.com does business on Flea-bay and is selling 2nd Gen Dak shocks as fitting 87-06 models. I've sent them emails, called them and tried to explain and lately I've been reporting them as "misleading descriptions" when they post a new auction. I don't think it helps as they have 11 sets advertised like that in their store tonight. [:@]

 

i thought i would try to help. and just because the picture is wrong superdak05 doesnt mean that is the shock/strut they are selling and i do know what our strut looks like. i just saw this on a website and didnt know if anyone know anything about it.

 

problem is alot of the manufacturers do that.

 

yes they mess with our brains!!!!!!!! dam bast*rds

 

A BRAIN ?
You found a BRAIN?
Where can I get one?
Do they come in different sizes?

 

hahaha
