hey guys.
im new to the forums and new to my mustang('95 5.0).
when i bought the car i was told it needs new tensioner shocks on the rear end.
i believe these are the two smaller shocks that the v6's didnt have(am i right?).
but where the heck can i get these at. i tried looking at summit and jegs but i couldnt find them. would i be able to get them at places like napa and autozone?
i just hope i dont have to get them from the dealership. i hate paying dealership prices. thanks for any help guys.

a lot of people call them quad shocks or Axle Wrap Shocks. you can probably find a set of stock take offs from the newer (99-04 gt's and mach 1's) for cheap. a lot of people ditch them when they replace their lower control arms


i would suggest replacing all the the rear shocks along with the front struts. it will make your car ride a lot better

Welcome to the boards!

You should be able to get the dampers from the parts store - they refer to them as steering dampers (no, that's not a typo). They're like 25 bucks or less each.

Or getting some newer take-offs locally (as Urban suggested) sounds like a great idea to me.

You could also put that money towards decent control arms out back. Many folks are able to ditch the quads once they get aftermarket arms back there (then they are able to sell you their old quads, if you decide to go the take-off route).

Good luck.
