My 1985 convertible has a very firm ride. What shocks will fit to make a smoother ride? Give me maker and number if possible.

I don't know about you mark but I found that Monroe's capri part numbers are wrong. I always order parts for a mustang. The online search gives different part numbers for 85 V8 capri and 85 V8 mustang.

thats because some cars had lower shock bolts that ran paralla to the axle tubes in a bracket. aka cars with quid shocks then their was the shock that bolts straight into the axle.

I don't know what I looked up wrong. They are the same now. I know about the quad shock.
