Can anyone recomend any aftermarket passive rear shocks for a 93 ETC? I bought a set of Monroe #71801 shocks but I believe that they are for the leaf spring rear suspension. Part numbers would be greatly appreciated.

The 4th gen Eldo/Seville, and 7th+ gen Deville are all based on the K platform, which is almost identical to the 1986 E platform that the '86-'91 Eldo/Seville and their Buick/Olds cousins used (and this platform was loosely based on the original 1980 FWD K-platform) - the K is esentially just a renamed E. That said, don't be surprised to find various chassis and suspension components that interchange across the body styles.Can anyone recomend any aftermarket passive rear shocks for a 93 ETC?

--------------------------Not Good. Shocks are incorrect for this car. The search goes on!
RJ
------------------------Lower mounting for original shocks have rubber bushed eye which connects to lower suspension arm with a single thru bolt. Replacement shocks have no lower attachment point only smooth bottom shock body and brackets for sway bar connection. May have to bite the bullet and buy the Arnott kit, Tired of the rear end dragging!
-------------------basscatt, I was wondering where you were able to find that part number? Thank You,
RJ
---------------------Thanks basscatt, I am going crazy trying to get the correct shocks. 71801 are not right, like I said before,they appear to be for a leaf spring car. I called my local parts supplier at work and they said 40046 fit 94 on up. He even called Monroe tech to verify. I think there may be a discrepency with Monroes data. What I will do is check the wifes 02 ESC and if they look the same will order 40046! Thank you for your help and doing the research.

-------------------New fly in the ointment. Sticker says FE3 suspension, firm and I believe it just ask my back! I will go with basscatt's recomendation for the shocks.
Thanks Guys,
