There are two in the Volcano Island pirates set (6248) as well.

Can someone repost the addy to this? I've got a few of those parts I was
thinking of selling, though if I can find good use for them I'll keep them :)
Thanks
Tamy

It's funny that it looks like the shock absorber has appeared mainly in
applications it doesn't seem t be orginally intended for (shock absorber for
small town cars). Maybe it was 'replaced' for this purpose by the dual axle
spring loaded wheels mount (known mainly in red).
Nevertheless , the shock absorber has appeared in at least one town car, but
I don't recall which one.
BTW, I cheaply bought a load of these shock absorbers in Auczilla about a
year ago; nobody seemed to have any interest than (or know what the the part
was). They come in real handy now for train coupling :-)
Bram Lambrecht has pointed me to his preliminary LDraw model of this part.
It can be found in lugnet.cad.dat (title 'part: shock absorber 1x2).
