Shocks

This may be a weird question but when ordering shocks they state vehicle then position and under that it says front and front doesn't mean front in my case there for the rear I don't understand the term position in the shock world thanks for any info this was a Bilstein shock 33-062518 thanks Tom
  • If you have a Ford chassis you might want to consider Koni FSD shocks, more expensive but greatly improves ride on Ford Chassis.

    Good luck and safe travels....:)
  • Yes these are for motorhomes they were ordered threw the vin number from shockwharehouse they are for multiple vehicles I think I figured out the other question on position these state front but there is a note section which must supersede the position in my case the note states for the rear thanks you got me thinking if you clik on the shock number it will go to all vehicles it fits thanks Tom
  • Front means front axle. Rear means rear axle(s). They are listed separately. Look for the listing that says rear. BTW, it's a good idea to replace them all at the same time. Are these shocks for a motorhome, since you posted in the motorhome section. The shocks you're looking at are not meant for motorhomes but for raised off-road vehicles. I have them on my 4x4 dually pictured below and they're great.
