    I have never heard of using Capri rear shocks in an Escort. Many people use Capri front struts though

    i have capri struts up front, just want to know if mk1 and mk2 capri rear shocks are the same. to the best of my knowledge there were only cosmetic changes to the mk2 capri i.e. headlights.

    Um - I'm no expert on Capris. but the Mk2 was a little more than a "cosmetic" change from the Mk1 Capri... It had a hatchback body shape and the diff housing was wider as well - so the shockers could be different too... Someone from the Capri Club should be able to answer your question on shocks though...
