[urq] Anyone know about the rear bumper struts?

[Martin Pajak]

Sorry to hear about your incident.

The shocks should be available because they are the same as used on FWD Coupes and 4000's.

If all else fails a used one will work just as well.
BTW I would replace both at the same time if you care about safety the next time.... 
I don't, so I actually collapsed both of mine for more Euro look.
