All these shocks that everyone has been discussing were originally 
DIFFERENT. The only thing they had in common was the fact that they 
took the same external mounting. When the aftermarket people came 
along they took advantage of this by just making 1 shock and selling 
it for ALL those applications.

Makes it much cheaper for them to make and stock, and most people 
will never be the wiser.

The OE shocks are EXCELLENT quality. I hang on to mine and reuse them 
as long as they are good, and 30 years later most of them still are.
