They changed front lower shock mounting between 55-56. Don't remember ever reading the why but maybe something in conjunction with the 56 revision of the TL front load link geometry. As shown in this post there are adapters to allow the use of the different type shocks.

There is an adapter available to allow the single stud on bottom to be mounted on the 56. I pictured it here some time ago.

hello Randy
Since the Monroe Matic (5801) has nearly the same specs as the KYB and it has the bar at the bottom with the 2 bolt support.. why do any extra work Best

I understand Randy
But from my point of view, the monroe is the correct way to go, because it is the way the Packard lower mount is designed. and also because I'm Lazy. Best
