Need Shocks for 79~81 honda prelude.

[MrNeonDriver]

Dear everyone.

I am looking for rear shock absorbers for a 1979~81 Honda Prelude,
But i cannot seem to find any. My local store doesnt have it.
Honda dealer Netherlands doesn’t sell them several online stores don’t even have lowering shock.

I have searched rockauto.com ….no results
I have searched napa …………no results
I have searched autozone ……..no results
I have searched O’reill’s …….Only Front
I have searched Advance a.p. ….Only Front
I have searched Summit racing …no results

So my question really is. Did i forget a store were i can probably buy them, and if so could you send me a link.

Thanks in Advance,

JD

You might try here. If not there you might look under ‘vintage Honda parts’.

I’ve seen strut inserts for these old honda’s on JCWhitney. What are these, and how do you install them?

[MrNeonDriver]

thanks,

They Didnt have it neither. To bad though.

But we found a very small company in Germany actually.

What’s the name of that company so anyone else with this problem can be helped?

[MrNeonDriver]

That really is a shockabsorber, you saw of the top hat part of the strut and you measure the diameter of the pipe you are left with and find an strut insert for it.

I am not really liking these cause i dont know how they would hold really, but it is a real option of nothing else is left.
I really rather have a designed for strut instead.
Maybe eric ore someone else can fill us in on this.

Here is the idea.
