Review on πŸš— Enhance Vehicle Performance with Monroe Shocks & Struts Gas-Magnum 34657 Shock Absorber by Jeff Hall

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Consider another brand

Good value for money. You can't expect more in this price range. Compression is noticeably tighter than the OEM. Update: After about a week, the front drivers started making an awful noise, similar to the rumble of a stack of pucks. Replaced it with another MGM muffler which solved the problem. The new damper was also compatible with Kore. A month later, both front rubbers start to creak. I have had four faulty Monroe shocks out of 8 that I have purchased over the years. Not good 50% failures. I want to buy an American, but Monroe needs better quality control. On the other hand, the warranty replacement was painless and time-consuming. The squeaking was driving me crazy so I decided to buy an OEM unit. I've now used MGM shocks which I can't run again due to an expired return period and no support from Monroe. It's like burning money in a fire. Scary story.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
