Review on 💪 Experience Maximum Comfort and Stability with Monroe 58633 Load Adjust Shock Absorber by Rob Dixon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Still happy with the best shock absorbers

Still happy. I installed them for several reasons. 1. During my 2001 expedition, my back sags a bit and 2. I'm towing a caravan in the summer. I was hoping the load matching section would help. I measured before and after installing the shocks (which my friend and I did) and they raised the rear 1/2 inch, doesn't sound good but looks better. I haven't shot the trailer yet, so I can't comment on that part yet, but I'm optimistic. I didn't notice a big difference in driving technique. As far as installation goes, not too bad (took both a friend and me about 1 1/2 hours), but here are a few things I learned. Don't forget to remove the wheel and install jack stands. You have to get under the car and make sure it doesn't fall, and I had to use a busted bar socket wrench (extended pipe in my case) to get enough force to break the nuts once the bolts are loosened, and you remove the shock absorbers, the nut is a clamp and it will fall off. So when you put new shocks in, you have to add some kind of sticky substance or have someone stick it out to keep it in place. After the nuts broke I used an air compressor head to remove the nut/bolt. Without the rear on the driver's side, that would take quite a while. no space to work because of the gas tank. hope that helps. Many Thanks
