Post Gabriel Axle Shaft Damper's

Hey,

I have 2 Mustangs with 2 different sets of rear axle dampers. The first Mustang is a 1990 2.3L lx and the second is a 1991 2.3L parts car. The 1990 has stock dampers that are black without any real markings while the 1991 has Gabriel "RED RYDER GAS" dampers.

I'm just wondering if the Gabriel dampers came stock with the 1991's or is that an aftermarket addition? Also, I'm wondering if it would be worth it to swap the Gabriel dampers for the stock ones and if it is worth it, how could I go about doing it?

Any information would be very helpful...

Thanks, Steve.

Tokico made the stock quads for Ford. They still do...

So which ones do you think are better? The Tokico's or the Gabriel's?
