Shocks January 26, 2007, 05:29:51 PM Any idea if 2005+ Mustang shocks will work on the rear of my 86TC? They are longer than 94-04 shocks and I can get them all day long dirt cheap. Quote Selected
Shocks Reply #1 – January 26, 2007, 07:02:23 PM Dunno. No one has tried.If you can get them dirt cheap, try them out and let the rest of us know. Quote Selected
Shocks Reply #2 – January 26, 2007, 08:15:26 PM Anyone post the length of a stock bird shock, I will find out the length of the 05+'s. Quote Selected
Shocks Reply #3 – January 26, 2007, 09:08:11 PM I have my old air shocks in the garrage. if they will work I'll measure them up for ya. Quote Selected
Shocks Reply #4 – January 26, 2007, 09:22:41 PM The 05s are 20" from the lower eye to the bottom of the lower washer at the top.How about the Bird shocks? Quote Selected
Shocks Reply #5 – January 26, 2007, 09:23:49 PM Well, I can measure them for ya, but since they are air shocks, I'm not sure. I'll even post pics if I can find the camara Quote Selected
Shocks Reply #6 – January 26, 2007, 09:29:56 PM I see about 24" fully extended, same places measured Quote Selected
Shocks Reply #8 – January 26, 2007, 10:53:15 PM Also didn't mention these are off an 84 bird. Isn't there a difference in shocks from 84-85 on? Quote Selected

Shocks Reply #10 – January 27, 2007, 12:51:59 AM Chuck the link you posted doesnt state how the shocks were measured. Was it from the lower eye to the tip of the threaded rod, or from the lower eye to the end of the shock body.I know for a fact that the 05+ shocks uncompressed are longer than Fox or SN95 shocks.

Shocks Reply #11 – January 27, 2007, 12:57:04 AM Well try them and see. And FTR, what exactly is dirt cheap? Quote Selected
Shocks Reply #12 – January 27, 2007, 03:13:48 AM Steeda sells them for $40 a set. The 05+ guys sell them for <$20 just to get rid of them. Thats a great price for oem GT shocks.Im going to pick up 2 or 3 sets, 1 for the Bird, 2 for spares.Im going with late SN95 oem springs, S197 shocks, unsure on struts. Once I gather all the bits and pieces I will post pics.Im also buying a take-off GT shift for $9.99, my stocker is wore out, I hope I can make it fit, they look great, Quote Selected
