I recently had a new FG2 shock blow out and so I've had the joy of discovering how hard it is to find single replacements. I called Luke to no avail and then searched gmpartsdirect.com. I typed in the front shock part number, 88962952, and it says they have them. However, it also says the price is $167.44 each. Based on the price I have a hard time believing this is the right part. What say you?
FG2s at GMpartsdirect?

I think it is the right part. They also sell the set of 4. If you add up the GMPartsdirect MRSPs for the 2 rears and 2 fronts you arrive at the MRSP for the full set. The front FG2s are not all that expensive - it is the rear FG2s that represent the bulk of the cost.
I am in the same situation - I have blown 1 front FG2 and Lindsay can't help me. I have not ordered a single from GMPartsDirect because: (1) I am looking at other options since FG2s are not rebuildable may get harder to find; and (2) GMPartsDirect lists FG2s as "special order", which can take a long time to get, i.e. they may be back ordered forever too.
Good to know. I have never done any business with them either - their shipping charges negate most of any price difference anyway and their stated terms and conditions place all of the risk on the purchaser, no matter what. I only considered them on the FG2 thing to keep from spending $1,200-$1,400 to replace one shock absorber.
