Monroe MA700 Max-Air vs. Monroe Sensa-Trac Coilovers

[captspillane]

The Eagle rear shocks are obviously way too big. I have those on all my Eagles. He must have found a very tiny car application that has a very small shock to fit in the 15 inch space available. I thought about plugging in a bunch of random vehicles into Rockauto, but I figure that's a waste of time when someone has already figured it out before.

Monroe Air

On my 82 Limited I was fortunate in that it has the factory towing package (under the hood compressor etc).  Only problem I have is one of the airbags squeak.  I believe I have read some where that this is a common problem.

If anyone has a solution for this squeak, please let me know.

Capt, so the link I provided to Sensa-tracs wouldn't work? It was a long time ago, but I thought that was the ones listed for Eagles.

Vangremlin, and Bird-O-Prey, what application did you use?

I found that my air-ride has a rear level sensor similar to the one I had stock in my Comanche for the rear brakes except it's electric and not hydraulic. When the shocks leaked out the compressor came on (unless I switched it to off) and eventually drained the battery. (not anymore. No air shocks going back in since the XJ axle swap)

Here's the sensor

Just installed the softride 2" add a leaf then Went to Napa to get the coil over shocks but Monroe shows them as no longer available according to the guy behind the counter.

MONROE Part # 58510

I've gotten Monroe Sensa-Track coil over shocks for the front. While installing them I found that it is tricky. They are the correct length and they match up without too much hassle, but there are two big catches. The bottom mounting holes are a little too wide and you need a smaller set of bolts and some nuts to space with. that's not too bad. The next problem was that the bottom shock mount is just barely too big to fit through the hole at the top of the shock housing. It needs a very small amount removed with a grinder to enlarge the hole. It is not a big deal since it is covered by the mounting bracket, but at the same time most people won't want to make a permaneant change like that.

Monroe Sensa-trak 58270 for front. $47.79 from Rockauto last time. Shipping was $8.87.
