You won't find anything for a fith element, they havent been around for years. You can pillage parts from a manitou swinger 6 way though and they will be a perfect match. There are a few slight differences but most of it is the same.

You can take the chromed shaft from a manitou shock and a shimstack piston from a manitou shock and get rid of the black nitride shaft and spv piston from the 5th, put in a softer main shaft seal and bam, increase your shocks performance in a huge way.

Any idea where to source parts (shaft, shim stack, softer seal) other than donor shocks? Will the Manitou Swinger rebuild kits work? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Manitou-O-Ring-Seal-Kit-Swinger-Coil-Shocks-83-2707/183402528676?epid=1003211700&hash=item2ab3a47fa4:gBig Grin X8AAOSw3EpbhJZ2
