Title: Shocks for a Magnum B-Series Chassic
Post by: Jack W Hannah on July 22, 2026, 07:18:13 PM

Unable to drive at present, recovering from knee surgery. I want to order a complete set of shocks for my 2002 Patriot, that I found at Shockwarehouse, but they're asking how many.
Can anybody respond, as I currently am unable to get under coach to investigate.
Thank you,

Jack Hannah

I believe most have 4 shocks located at the tires.  Mine had 6 shocks, but the extra 2 in the front were likely because it was a shorter MH.

Jack,
If memory is correct it has 6 shocks, 4 on the front axle and 2 on the rear axle. OEMs were Bilstien Gas. Hopefully an 02 owner will confirm. I just checked Shock Warehouse and they indicate 4 but I think this is incorrect as my 01 Contessa had 6.
