I bought a set of used shocks and struts a couple days ago that are supposed to be Cobra Shocks and Struts. Can you guys please take a look at this the picture on this link and tell me if your shocks and struts look like this or I bought the wrong thing.

They look like shocks and struts to me. If they were supposed to be 2003 Cobra, or Cobra R parts, they are not.

Are there part numbers on them?

They aren't from a R, as those are yellow in color.

I haven't had the wheels on my 01 off yet to look.

I beleive your question has already been answered hasn't it? Cosmo works for Griggs and I am sure they have more cobra's apart than anyone else here.
 
Posted by racercosmo (Member # 1864) on :
 
I can check the part numbers out. All Mustang struts look like that.
 
Posted by 01GTMustang (Member # 2236) on :
 
yah thanks Cosmo....if you could check that part number out I'd really appreciate it
