PECO Side Washers

[Mr. Clean]

Trying to replace shocks and just reecived another iteration from Peco that is much less robust looking, but sold as current replacement. Original p/n 144280? Also 144280A or Gabriel 619018. Regardless, mounting holes are undersized - original has 5/8 bolt.
Any advice

Call Peco and tell them to fix it.

Peco Parts has been great - they send what their system shows as the current replacement. My concern is the accuracy of their system since Sonny's took over, so asking Peco users for firsthand input.

Yes - but that is my point. The current replacement has undersized mounting holes, so it wouldn’t be a replacement in my judgment. I’m sure you’ll hear from a Peco user, as you asked, but I can’t imagine anyone would accept this as an acceptable replacement.

I have removed the metal collar that's inside the rubber and they will fit. Looks like your old 1 had the collar removed already (pic).
