mribbich@wi.rr.com Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I have a rebuilt Delco knee action shock I need help IDing. Numbers on the arms are 5383107 and 5302340 there are no numbers on the end caps. My guess is early 30's Buick or Packard but am not sure. 1-262-392-2989 or mribbich@wi.rr.comMarv.

West Peterson Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Again, go here. It looks like it could be Buick. Usually the number is on one of the caps. Maybe too much paint???Apple Hydraulics: Delco shock absorbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mribbich@wi.rr.com Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 West,The number I posted is the number on the arm not the tag the tag number is the one on the housing and in most cases you are right about a number some were, the end caps normally have that number to ID it. The number on the shock housing itself is no use because they use the same housing for many cars, it is the arm and the valving inside the shock that IDs it to a certain car. Also on rebuilt shocks one can not be sure if the end caps that were removed at the time of rebuilding were the ones put back on that came off it, some were just boxed with the number on the box and once the box was destroyed the number was gone. Thanks!!!!Marv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mribbich@wi.rr.com Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Rechecked the shock it is a Delco Lovejoy not just a Delco, so I am thinking Buick late 1920's to ever early 1930's Marv. Thanks again!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again!!!Not sure what it is for however it definitely would not be for a Buick before 1932. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
