Looking for front and rear cross over part for shocks

[Jim S]

Does anyone know what brand X year make and model fits front and rear shocks for a 72 Avanti?  I’m asking because I can get them for employee cost at O’Reilly auto parts if there are parts that fit.

The front shocks are the same as a ‘63-‘65 Buick Riviera.  I don’t know of a direct rear crossover.  I do believe you can modify rear Camaro shocks for the rear but I don’t know what years.

If you rummage thru here, you can find your fit

One thing to look out for regarding the front shocks. The shocks I bought, and all others that I looked at, had the same problem. The lower flange was 3" from end to end.....the center of the mounting holes on the lower A-arm are 3.5" apart.   I eventually solved my issue by extending each side of the lower flange with 3/16 stock flat iron, carving out an slot for the carriage bolt slots on the welded extensions. I posted pictures of the extensions in a post last year

Bought these for rear, drop in replacement: KONI 8040-1018: https://finder.koni.com

These were made for a CHEVROLET CAMARO and PONTIAC FIREBIRD but will do on any Avanti II
