i just recieved my shocks today, might be the wrong ones?
this is for a 2005 acura tl 6 speed. but the shocks say accord v6 2003-2007 Hu3761 and Hu3762. i'm a little thrown off here.. Does the Tl use the same setup as the Accord? i'm suppose to put these on in a few hrs and don't know if it will work.

Koni uses the same part# for the 3G TL and the 2003 - 2007 Accord (V6, IIRC).
What brand shock?

Tokico's web site application page is not up to date.
Does not a list a part for the Accord '03 - '07.
3G TL part number is diferent than you list (HU3800/3801), but it is not unusual to have the exact same part with different part numbers for different models. It's a PITA for DIY'ers, but not unusual.

Anyways, yes they are the same. The only thing you will need in the rear is a washer since the Accord rear shocks are slightly thinner than the TL ones. So basically when you put in the lower shock bolt you will need to add a washer to fill up the space.

If a given company is going to be "sneeky" enough to give two part numbers to the same product, say, 1 or the Accord and another for the TL, even if the parts are in fact EXACTLY the same, the F'n company ought to ship the part# they assigned for *your* car.
You order the TL Part#, you should get the TL Part#.
WTF is the point of assigning two part numbers if you're just going to ship whatever is laying around? Does nothing but confuse the buyer, creating doubt about whether they got the right item.
At least Koni doesn't pretend to have unique parts for the Accord and TL. They're the same and Koni marks them the same. And the user doesn't have to F'n guess whether or not they've got the right part.

But if you figure you can charge me more, then I figure you can afford to show the part# I ordered on the invoice, packing list and box.
At the end of the day it's just lazy, half-assed business practices by the after market manufacturers.
For the OP, I am glad all is well. I've run across this before (H&R Sport Springs for one). I just think that many of us know *our* cars pretty well, but not necessarily similar cars or specific after marker products.

Just happened to run across this looking for something else.
Josh, this was not directed at any one person or company, just a momentary rant at aftermarket (and OE for that matter) parts number assignements by manufacturers.
At the time of my post the TOKIKO Web Application guide DID list a part for the TL but NOT for the '03 - '07 Accord, so the OP's part# could not be cross referenced using the Tokiko Application page on the web.
In that case how does the OP know whether they have the right part or not?
This is why I say if the manufacturer wants to assign 2 part numbers to the SAME part for 2 different applications, fine. BUT, the paperwork, packaging, etc for the order should show the buyer the part# ordered, not the "sister" part #. Not doing so is simply laziness and lack of attention by the manufacturer.
