Shock specs help

[russcc]

On the old Ford Barn site someone went to a lot of work to put together a list of shock numbers, and their specifications like length extended, etc.
I need help understanding what some of the specs mean, example;
1. Extended length, is that from the center of the eye or overall length when extended ?
2. Mounting upper has codes like EB1, or ES126, what's that mean ?
3. Lower mtg codes like ES24 & ES128 ?
4. Upper eye, either 1/2" or 5/8", I assume mounting stud size.

I have the list if anyone would like. I will have to fax or mail to you unless someone can coach me how to scan it.

Thanks Ford Barners, Russ

I downloaded the attached list (.pdf) from Monroe. It shows compressed and extended lengths as well as diagrams for the end types and thier respective codes. The diagrams are a couple of pages in and should answer your questions. I found it very usefull in unravelling a hack job that had been done to my pickup. All for corners were bottomed. It is imperative that the loaded ride hieght is used when the shocks are selected.

Is the weight of the vehicle or the weight of the individual corner of the vehicle taken in to consideration?? Fair question??

I wish that Boxer would either get the ball or go somewhere else and stare. LOL. Love those Boxers.

I had a dog like that once except he would drag tha ball right back in front of you and stare at you instead of the ball.

Russ, if you don't have a scanner but a digital camera, you might try taking a pic of it and post it like you would any other photo. Hope that helps.


BTW, that Monroe chart is a good one, I printed one out awhile back. Nice tech info to have.

Thanks for all your help on the shock specs, especially 41 Ford with the Monroe spec sheet. The Monroe sheet and one I have does not go up to #88031. Anyone know what that part # fits, or who made it. Have one, looking for another. it fits the front of my 29A Roadster hot rod perfect.
