Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Monroe 58608 Load Adjust Shock Absorber by Monroe by Steven Jackson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I want to say that I put those shocks on it.

Hello. I want to say that I installed these shock absorbers this morning and drove to work. I live in Topanga, California and my 7 mile cruise to work has steep climbs, winding roads and lots of bumps and potholes. Wow. What an amazing difference these shocks made on my 20 year old manual rear drive Ford Ranger. Handling was greatly improved and I no longer had to use two hands to hold a corner at 40 mph. No more jumping and bouncing while reading on steep slopes (light bed weight), and all I feel is a nice, smooth ride (I replaced the front springs and dampers last year). It took me exactly an hour to lift up the old shock absorbers, remove them and install new ones. Yes, I replaced the front shock absorbers last year, but this is only the second time I've done it and I honestly consider myself an average mechanic or a bit better. Long story short, yes I would replace a 25 year old shock kit any day, it's day and night. For $80 and an hour of my labor, they completely changed the journey.
