mribbich@wi.rr.com Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I need help IDing a Delco rear shock, part number on the arm is 5316463 I think it may be a LaSalle but that is only a guess. There are no numbers on the end caps. Thanks!!!! 1-262-392-2989 or mribbich@wi.rr.comMarv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Scroll down to the bottom of this page. It looks like it could match a couple of them. The part number on the tag is not a Delco number. There should be a number stamped or cast into the piece somewhere.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 (edited) 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.

Guest prs519 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Marv, I believe that not even the arm is sufficient. I have seen the same arm number on two entirely different makes of cars, which were OEM without a doubt.Perry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
