Default Shocks

One of my stock rear shocks has about had it where the rubber boot is at the bottom of the shock, the shock arm has worked its way out of the boot. I tried with a pry bar to get it back and it wont budge at all.

Should I replace the entire shock? Anyone have the stock shock part#?

ANy suggestions for aftermarket shocks? QA1's are a bit expensive, but are a possibility.

Naaa, just pick up an extra rear at the salvage yard. Or better still, replace both rears with Bilsteins for about $85ea. You'll like that the most. The rear will ride a lot smoother and the floaty stock feel will be gone by about 60-70%.

Also, I think SLP sells rear take-offs for about $25ea or $25pr. or something like that.
