Review on Monroe 58620 Adjust Shock Absorber by David Thornton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quick and easy suspension upgrade

I used it on a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan that had leaking and worn shock absorbers. The original shocks were OEM standard with a single leaf spring at the bottom. I wanted to install a hitch to tow a small 750 lb trailer plus cargo. These dampers improved the suspension a bit without making the ride too harsh when going over bumps. I also installed Timbren shock absorbers over the rear axle in place of the stock ones. During normal driving, these shock absorbers provide a smooth and consistent ride, and then when I pass speed bumps, the bump stops limit the axle's upward travel to a predetermined distance. With these shock absorbers, including the built-in springs, the car stands up much better than the rear sags without them. I am very happy with the suspension upgrade. The van no longer shakes when I drive on bumpy roads, it is very stable now.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
