    OEM Shocks

    Can anyone help me out, I decided to use OEM shocks on my Marauder. And found out through the forum that they are made by Tokico. Now as I ordered them from the dealer, the dealer told me that the part number has changed to a new one (8w3z18125a) which I'm not sure is also made by Tokico. Or if this is the shock everyone was talking about in the first place.

    Just a heads up...there are 3 or 4 different airbag/shock configurations. I have been led to believe all these years one of them is MM specific.....
    "...went from sea level to 3k above... now all I do retune the toys..."

    If you want the last of the replacement MM rear shocks, PM Cobra25. He has a pair for sale and he is local.
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    Rest In Peace:

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    Buyer be ware. After I removed the Naake QA1 f/r shocks some time ago I to ordered what I was led to believe oem. When I got them & installed them they were softer than a cheap after market. They were most likely for a grand marquis. After a few years of productiopn they can cross refence & interchage parts I was ******** they were not cheap & no were near close to oem. I pulled them & went with KYB coil over shocks in the front.

    RoyLPita did a Nation wide search for me 1 1/2 years ago because I insisted on putting on the Origional Rear factory shocks on my marauder . He found me the last known set available. Since then Ford has changed the part # and the shock isn't the same as the Origional ones . I a few weeks ago I took them off with 6031 miles on them and had to put QA1's on because I had put 305's on the rear.
