Please forgive me if I am not on topic. I am new to this kind of thing. I drive a 1952 220 that I restored about 13 years ago. For shocks, I installed Monroe #5753 on the front and #20718 on the rear and have zero issues. Some day I am hoping to cross reference some Bilsteins, since my experience with them tells me that my car will ride much better.
I can't remember (it has been so long ago), but you may have to drive a metal sleeve out of the rubber end before they mount up.
