Incorrect installation Supplied equipment

These shock absorbers are very good. This is a premium product offered by this company. The shock itself is great. However, when I received the product, it was found that the socket kit that came with the product was incorrect. It doesn't match the shock it was packed with. So I had to use my existing bushings and shock pin hardware. Revain delivery that is impeccable. This is clearly Gabriel's internal problem. The product is also stamped work and a product made in Mexico. Gabriel was formerly

Improper installation/construction and poor performance

Missing parts, uncompressed dust boot is on wrong end making it difficult to reinstall. The trunk will rub against the chassis and slide out no matter what you do.

Of course, I didn't realize this until after I'd already removed my original shock absorber, which I drove to the hardware store to do, but I had a cumbersome car. Eventually the rubber shock absorbers were too big to use…

Pros
  • Shocks
Cons
  • So far so good
