adjustable shocks

Also......Can the front wheel bearing seals be found at your hometown parts store ? If so does anyone have a part # ?

Mike Dailey has a huge website for Panteras, technical issues, and just about everything under the sun. Someplace on his sight is a cross reference database for some interchangeable parts but I do not know if seals are listed. www.panteraplace.com

Front (all Timken): Inner Brg #LM67048, Race #LM67010; Outer Brg# #LM11949, Outer Race #LM 11910; Grease Seal National #4720 (0 or 8)3

Front wheel bearings seals National/Federal Mogul P/N 472164 Front (all Timken): Inner #LM67048L/LM67000L, Race #LM67010; Outer #LM11949, Outer Race #LM 11910; Grease Seal National #4720 (0 or 8)4 Front Wheel Bearing Seal: NAPA PN 17387 (Chicago Rawhide) Front wheel bearing grease seals: Federal Mogul 472164.

All these numbers are from SOBill's Excel datalist.

It didn't open for me either the first time. Try it a couple times consecutively.

Here is the shock im trying to identify.......

They could be Koni. Look on the body of the shock and see if there is a crest, crown on top, with wings extending out from the crest. That is the Koni Logo. Use a mirror if needed. Somewhere on that shock is a name unless they were made for a Pantera vendor who might not have put his company name on it.

Mike,
Consider subscribing to the DeTomaso Forum at www.realbig.com/detomaso It is much more active on technical issues. Since photos cannot be posted on realbig.com, you can refer members to this bulletin board and the forum category where it can be found.

Im familiar with the Koni logo but there seems to be no markings on them......I do get the email list and i try to keep up with it but sometimes its so big i just dont have the time.

Many of us get around that problem by reading the posts at the archives. They post just about in real-time, and you can view what you want,when you want. Preferences for the forum allow you to set it up to NOT receive the emails, or even the daily digest. You retain your posting rights, view postings at the archives, and have nothing in your inbox.

OK guys....Someone here should recognize these shocks.........HELP

I know this is driving you crazy and now I am curious so I am sending this photo out to a few Pantera "scientists" to see if they can help.

Here is a reply I received:

The color is simlar to older Konis but those didn't have adjustable spring
perches or solid bushings needing grease zerks, unless someone modified them for
the above (Pat Mical in MA does this). They might have an ID plate at the
bottom- I couldn't tell from the photo. Non-gas Konis had p/n 82-1701-SP1 (frt) &
82-1601SP1 (rear) stamped into the body near the bottom. You'll probably have
to remove & disassemble them to be sure.

I will check them for numbers again on Monday night. The grease zerks look like they were added by a previous owner to me. They have a screw at the bottom that has to be some type of adjustment. It clicks into position about every 1/4 turn.......

Can not find any numbers on them.....HELP !!

The shocks are off....NO numbers or markings of any kind. They have 16 clicks on the adjustment screw. This screw adjusts BOTH the compression and rebound damping. The springs are the same OD and wire dia. as the stock springs. Anyone know what brand these are ? The rears have leaked oil from the adjustment screw....Im wondering if they can be rebuilt...
