Which shocks.??
I need to change shocks all around? Do I have self undusting shocks in the back in my 92 SEL? I see monroe being $64 for each, and then self leveling being $500. I donty have a shock button on the dash or light on the cluster.

Thanks

Check under your hood for this reservoir. Right side under a plastic cover. This is the reservoir for the self leveling suspension oil. If you have this, you have self leveling "shocks". They are really struts. You can read up on the system here...
