Can you put regular shocks on your 1989 fleetwood cadillac?

No, you cannot simply put *regular* shocks on a 1989 Fleetwood Cadillac. While the basic principle is the same, the dimensions, mounting points, and valving (internal design) of shocks are specific to each vehicle's make, model, and year. A standard shock absorber from another car will likely not fit correctly and could be dangerous.

You need shocks specifically designed for a 1989 Cadillac Fleetwood. Using incorrect shocks can lead to:

* Improper suspension geometry: Leading to poor handling, uneven tire wear, and potential damage to other suspension components.

* Poor ride quality: A bouncy, harsh ride, or a dangerously unstable vehicle.

* Safety issues: Compromised braking and handling, increasing the risk of accidents.

Always use shocks that are specifically listed as compatible with your 1989 Cadillac Fleetwood. You can find the correct ones at auto parts stores, online retailers, or through a Cadillac specialist. The vehicle's owner's manual or a parts catalog may also list the correct shock absorber part numbers.
