Great Addition to My Car's Suspension System

Based on my experience with these shock absorbers, I can safely say they have improved my car's ride quality significantly. The Monroe Monro-Matic shock absorbers were easy to install and have greatly reduced body roll and improved stability on bumpy roads. The impact of potholes and speed bumps is effectively absorbed, resulting in a smoother and more comfortable ride. The only drawback is that they are not as durable as some other shock absorbers in the market. Nonetheless, these economical…

Pros
  • Improves handling and stability of the vehicle, providing a smooth ride.
Cons
  • May not be as durable as some of its competitors in the market.

Make sure you completely remove your old part

These fit the front of my 1970 VW Beetle. Perfect fit, easy to install. One note, when I removed the old shocks the metal strap on the lower bushing remained on the link bolt. The new shock absorber does not fit. I thought the new damper was wrong until I realized the old bushing had fallen apart. It took a lot of penetrating oil and a pipe wrench to loosen the old clutch. But once the old damper was completely removed, the new one snapped on very easily. Now a nice smooth ride.

Pros
  • Shocks, Struts and Suspension
Cons
  • Upgrades

Monroe dampers are great!

Great quality, they are gas filled but not rigid. Lighter vehicles require soft shock absorbers. Otherwise you would feel every bump.

Pros
  • 1/2" Piston Rod: Nitrocarburized piston rod for long life. Only on modules without dust cover
Cons
  • Broadly ok, but...
