They work. on shock absorber

There are shock absorbers and they work. They were a perfect match for my 1951 Ford. Needless to say, they work. They don't rub my back or bring me snacks; just a good shock for a decent price.

Pros
  • shock absorber
Cons
  • There are problems

Raised too long for my '89 EZGO Marathon

You've hit rock bottom on my '89 EZGO Marathon. I have a 3" lift and removed the spacers. I installed new larger/heavier rear coil springs (12" x 2.5" ID x 250 lbs). Now they work fine and no longer sag! Truck drives like new!

Pros
  • Replacement Parts
Cons
  • Weight

Mileage is not very good

They're cheap, that's all. They definitely improved the ride quality of my 1993 Toyota pickup, but not by much. QC on them is not very good. Lots of unpainted spots. This makes me feel like they probably won't last too long. If I had to do it again I would spend a little more and get some KYB like I did on my previous 2000 Tacoma.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Retrofittable

very important IMO

First, Monroes don't last as long as Bilsteins, so don't expect 75,000 miles from those $20 shocks. Second, no one comments on whether they are hard or soft, which I think is very important. I had a full set of Bilsteins on my 1990 Toyota 22r pickup which were great off road but too stiff for city driving. Once I put them on their backs, the ride is *much* smoother, which is just what I need for hauling light loads around town. I'm sure they'll die in 20,000 miles, but I don't expect Monroe's…

Pros
  • Shocks, Struts and Suspension
Cons
  • Reliability
