[A/S] Shock Absorbers for Airstreams





Well, research shows:

Monroe 3303, or 3033 are not good part numbers.

Monroe 33033 is a good number for a shock for Chev and GMC trucks, 
SUVs and Blazers from the 1960's all the way up to 1990 sized from 
tiny to 3500 series.

Gabriel part numbers are generally five numbers, and T41015SA does 
not compute for them. Neither does just 41015.  It would appear that 
this number is not an actual part number.

All that said, I think the best way to get replacement shock 
absorbers for an Airstream is from an Airstream dealer, as cross 
referencing shock absorbers is a humongous project, and as far as I 
could find on google or yahoo, it has not been done yet.  If anyone 
knows differently, please respond to this post.  Also, the shock 
absorber manufacturers do not list trailer shocks in their lookup 
search engines. Just because a shock fits, does not mean it should 
be used, as some are firmer and some not as firm as the vehicle 
manufacturer intended.  While not so critical in a motorized 
vehicle, on an Airstream, this could cause the interior to virtually 
come apart due to improper buffering of the ride.
