Question about Orange Delco Shock Absorbers
Hello. I am researching which shocks to buy for my 1999 LT Blazer with premium smooth ride suspension package ZW7. 130,000 miles. I believe these are the original shock absorbers on all four corners. The stamped PN was only legible on the front shocks. The PN is 22165713. The shocks have Made in France and have a band name on a sticker of "de" something or "le" something printed on a sticker. AC Delco is also printed on the sticker.
Rock Auto says, "ABSORBER KIT,FRT SHK WHEN USING 12477880 IN PLACE OF 22165713, MUST REPLACE IN SETS (LEFT & RIGHT SIDE); 4 WHEEL DRIVE; w/PREMIUM SMOOTH RIDE CHAS PKG(ZW7)"
Are these Bilstein shocks on my Blazer? From what I see it looks like all Bilstein shocks are blue/yellow but the ones on my Blazer are orange? Also it is strange that they say Made in France.
I'm 99% sure I will be ordering the Bilsteins today, so for me this is probably more of a satisfaction of curiosity. However, I'm sure it will benefit someone else in the future. So why are my shocks orange?
