This is a list of shock absorber applications compiled from a 1996 NAPA Master Catalog of shocks and struts. The list includes the 3 basic grades of shock absorbers sold by NAPA and by implication all other manufactures of shock absorbers for these applications. It was compiled by comparing the recommend grade of shock by part number to the various models of automobiles. There are a few basic assumptions to this list which may cause a problem but that will have to be proven:

The purpose of this list is to be able to ask for a shock absorber for another automotive application to be used on your AMC or Rambler automobile.

NAPA numbers have been included only because I have them. In some cases if you give the parts counter a number they can cross reference it to what ever brand that they carry.

Not all automotive parts counters carry a full line of shocks in the brands that they have access to. That means that even though you know there is a heavy duty application the house brand manufacturer may not make it. I have had good luck with Gabriel, Monroe and KYB for the most part. Every one else will have there own experience.

Assumption 1. Where one shock fits, they will all fit. Heavy duty shocks are generally larger in diameter than lighter duty shocks. I do not think that will present a problem in AMC applications but where the shock number for the lighter duty shock also fit German and Japanese automobiles due to space considerations the heavy duty shock may not fit those cars but the odds are the shock from those cars will fit the AMC application.

Please note: As I worked my way through the application charts I found a lot of cross over applications that did not show up in the normal applications lists. Example Gremlin-four cylinder vs -6- or -8-. The light duty application for a 4 cylinder car was treated as an exception and had a completly different number list than the 6 or 8 cylinder applications. As I could find no physical reason why these shocks would not fit all applications I included them as a full cross over. This then linked various application charts together and opened up the applications to a very wide range of available shock absorbers that should physically fit the car.

Assumption 2. There was a very apparent pattern in that the lighter duty the shock was the larger the number of applications it would fit. In General after market will try to match performance levels of the original automobile. So in the case for example where a 4 cylinder Gremlin was listed to have only the light duty shock, knowing the suspension is the same as the 6 or 8 cylinder that the heavier shock would also fit.

Assumption 3 In some cases you may have to reuse the mounting hardware used on the car.

Except where it has been called out, there has been no attempt at this time to include the Pacer and the Eagle. That will change later.
