2002 LeSabre air shocks

Will the Monroe Shocks MA822MM hook up to the original air line fittings?

No, you will need to splice the lines with 1/8 ferrule unions, be warned these shocks ride harder than stock.

The MA822 will fit and the connectors are a direct fit as well.. I had no issues installing them on my 03 Bonneville, and the same shock crosses to the LeSabre..

I do agree tho, they do give a rougher ride, But I like my cars to handle..

The shock line fittings on the set I got were not the same as the oe shocks, easy to convert though, strange?

That is strange.. My Monroes MA822 were a perfect fit... Didn't have to adapt anything at all.. What kind of fittings did your shocks have?

Mine were a clip style exactly like the OE... On my 95 van its a screw on style..

Re: 2002 LeSabre air shocks

Do the air line fittings just pull off or is there a clip that has to be removed first?

What about the Gabriel Hi Jackers, are they the same way? the local parts store has both in stock.

I would recommend and take the Monroes over the Gabriel...

Should be a metal clip, then the connector should come off..

Yeah Max, it should be easy to swap either way really.. Should not be that hard by any means.. If thats what the kit comes with thats what I'd use..
