Review on Monroe 5617 OESpectrum Shock Absorber by Wayne Gilbert

I bought two of these shocks to replace the rear shocks on my 2005 Volvo S40 T5. They arrived quickly and were easier to install than I thought (this was my first attempt at something like this). Another interesting thing is that I believe these shocks are actually the same as Volvo's factory shocks as apart from the labels they looked the same and both were made in the Czech Republic. My only complaint is that one of the two boxes didn't have a nut that attaches to the piston, but luckily I was able to use a nut from an old shock.
