Review on Monroe MA805 Max Air Adjust Absorber by Adrian Garcia

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits perfectly, held air but the shock absorber is defective.

I will be returning the shocks in the next few days. After a long installation when it is very difficult to remove the old original shock absorbers. New shocks (one of them) leaked through the air intake port. The air lines worked perfectly after several hours of trying to find a leak in the airline. There was no leak. It was in the gasket where the air line connects to the shock, the actual metal of the shock. With all the hours that went into installing it, it's not a simple air duct problem. I can't repair this shock absorber myself, and any attempt to repair it will destroy the shock absorber itself, such as: B. welding the joint or using a product like JBWeld. I've been in the middle of nowhere installing these shocks (I had to reinstall old leaky shocks just to get back on the road) and I suggest checking the shocks out somehow before attempting to install them. But then I would think they are factory tested at all?

Pros
  • All Weather Fluid: Contains special modifiers to reduce friction and ensure smooth stem response
Cons
  • Not sure
