Description

Made by Gabriel. Heavy duty gas. Fine thread studs. Perfect for faking an Autolite shock for 65-67 concours judging. Fill imprints and paint as required for judging. The upper shroud is about 7 1/2 long. Originals were about 6 5/8 long, To be really correct you can cut the tube to the correct length. Some have used a hacksaw (carefully), others have cut them on a lathe. You can also have the end of the shroud flared to mimic the original.

See 18125-1K, 18125-1AK for mounting hardware options.

Verified Buyer Front or Rear Shock Absorber, Gabriel Guardian

Disappointed. Ordered two front and two rear. The two front are as pictured, made in Mexico, red in color, a quality looking shock in a Gabriel box. The rear shocks are not as pictured, made in China, black in color, not the quality in a Gabriel box.

Note to future buyers.. Gabriel is indeed moving production of these (and other) shocks to China. The fact that they're now painted black already saves you the need for repainting!! Thus far, we have neither seen nor heard ANYTHING that would justify any claim of "poor quality" simply because of the change in country of origin. For all we know, the toolings and processes Gabriel has moved to in China could well-be newer and better-tolerances than the now-ancient Mexican toolings. So even though we realize that there is a stigma associated with made-in-China (and that's understandable), we have received zero issues or complaints with these shocks. Rick, NPD
