Review on 🚗 Enhance Your Vehicle's Performance with Monroe 90007 Air Shock Conversion Kit: Load Assist Shock Upgrade by Eric Speers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good product. Ease of installation.

These dampers fit and work well on my 2000 LeSabre. There were no problems with the automatic leveling system. There was no need to install the 4.7kΩ resistors I bought from Radio Shack as suggested by the consumer as the "Check Suspension" warning didn't appear. I removed the air ducts from the old shock absorbers and put them in the holes on the car frame. I didn't have to touch the pump or the relay under the back seat. Electrical connection of the pump not disconnected. In any case, the pump has already stopped working. I had a problem removing the old shock: one of the two rusty 10mm bolts on the bottom broke and I had to cut and drill it. I had the same problem on the other side, but I stopped turning the key, the latch began to resist turning. However, I did not break the head of the 10mm screw. I then used a Dremel tool with a small cutting wheel to cut off the originally installed bolt shank and clamp (above). I broke several Dremel tool discs. Small sparks were produced when cutting. You should pay attention to the gas tank and not do this if it smells of gas. (Maybe a hacksaw could cut the head of the bolt off from the bottom. After that, I was able to use penetrating oil and a wrench to remove the rest of the bolt from the bottom.) I used a jack under the spring to push the shock up so I could die two top nuts in the trunk can install. Of course, the vehicle must be supported by safety stands. Be careful not to overtighten the nuts. I remember two nuts on top and two on bottom required !8 ft.lbs. The center nut at the top is about 24 feet per inch (not sure, but that's what the instructions say). I used a vise to hold the top of the shock to install and tighten the center nut. I used a box to support one end of the shock while a vise held the other end where the nut enters the hardest part where the welding was done.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • vulgarity
