Title: ISO shocks
Post by: gsun on July 14, 2021, 05:10:37 PM

I need front shocks for my 71 bus. I found some good ones at Bus Depot but the shipping was almost as much as the cost of the two shocks! Can anybody recommend a good oil shock that can be had locally?

This is what I was looking at:

Try RockAuto.  2 Sachs front shocks - $92.69cdn to your door by FEDEX, and that includes the GST.  No other costs.  I use them all the time.  CIP and Lordco can't come close.  I usually have the package in 2-3 days.  They also have another Sachs/Boge shock for a bit more. 

Bus Depot, despite the fact that they have bus parts that no one else has, is a joke.  I placed an order 2 weeks ago and I am still waiting for it to be assembled let alone shipped.  Tomorrow will be the third call.

I couldn't find the Sachs/Boge shock on the site.
