Terrible Quality Shock Absorber

This shock absorber couldn't handle even the slightest bump in the road let alone anything remotely resembling an actual shock. The only positive thing about it was the easy installation process. However, thats not enough to make up for the complete failure of this Automotive part... Save yourself the headache and invest in a higher-quality suspension product..

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting.
Cons
  • More expensive than other shock absorbers on the market.

Think twice about spares

I bought these as a cheap repair and although they are shocks the factory parts were twice as thick and at least looked durable. I hate to say they fall short, but I have a heavy Dodge Durango 4x4 that loves to drive off-road and I'm afraid they might bend over me. My 11 year old put them on (I was looking for him) and everything looks fine at the moment, just fooled by the picture, that's all. I can go to the store first to see them. Now if I can find a conversion kit for the steering gear.

Pros
  • Shocks, Struts & Suspension
Cons
