    shocks for an 04 CV

    ok. You guys were a great help on the last question.
    Here is another.
    I have an 04 Crown Vic with no rear air ride.
    Edelbrock and Bilstein stop their shock listings at 2002.
    What changed?
    Any solutions?
    Thanks for your help!

    They are a "monotube" type shock. The rear shocks are easy to replace (compared to 2002 and under platforms). The fronts are a coil over shock design. They are the opposite when it comes to installation (2002 frame and under is a "piece of cake"). Neither shock setup interchanges with the other.

    Just my .02 and then some.

    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:
    Alex "Marauderboi" Vachon 3/2/92-8/13/10
    Paula Babineau 1/9/67-8/2/11

    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.

    Does anyone make good performance shocks for the 04?

    It seems I have found the same thing as well in my digging.
    If I find any aftermarket shocks besides the QA1, I will let you know.

    Check out the guys at Tire Rack. (vendors here) and ask about Koni shocks. I'm a big fan of their products. If you get them, be careful about turning the firmness settings too high.
