Review on Monroe Plus 31538 Monro-Matic Shock Absorber by Eric Stewart

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Make sure you completely remove your old part

These fit the front of my 1970 VW Beetle. Perfect fit, easy to install. One note, when I removed the old shocks the metal strap on the lower bushing remained on the link bolt. The new shock absorber does not fit. I thought the new damper was wrong until I realized the old bushing had fallen apart. It took a lot of penetrating oil and a pipe wrench to loosen the old clutch. But once the old damper was completely removed, the new one snapped on very easily. Now a nice smooth ride.
