Waist money is best in parts

Bought all 4. Simply bad. Don't waste your time. The right front broke after 2 days. Replace all 4 because I won't risk it with a 10 month old in the car.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • A little loose change

Fits good! Fits shock absorbers

Rusty Ranger needed new shock absorbers all over. All saws came in handy because the top mounting nut couldn't come loose. through the top of the nut, along the top thread on both sides, and threw these guys in.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Made in the USA but they don't even fit OEM

I returned them because I found they were smaller than OEM standard. I have a light truck and while I don't treat it badly, I still think it needs a bit more toughness. I wish they had something to say about meeting or not meeting OEM standards.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Expensive

Appears to be of good quality

I bought these to replace the gas struts on my truck. The old shock absorbers creaked and creaked. they seem MUCH smoother. Very easy to install! On the other hand, the elderly were captured and it was difficult for them to get out. I'll keep an eye on everything and update the review if they end up failing, but at $30 a pair this seems like a bargain to me.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Minor issues

Very bouncy and bumpy handling

Not good my 2003 Ford Explorer XLT bouncing down the freeway I feel like I can't control my truck and they are hard to drive. The only reason I'm giving a 3 is because they fit no problem, but on normal roads they're ok compared to my old shocks, it's just that you feel like you get the speed increase and hit a bump, lose control of your car with the new shock absorbers

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Modern

do not feel small bumps works well

When I drive on the highway, the bumps on the road are felt very strongly, where they are tar cracks in the road, these are small bumps, but they are very strong and you feel them very badly when you have big bumps but i put this bump on my car and now i don't feel small bumps at all, before i had to avoid small bumps but now i don't have to because you don't once you do feel them with this new shock so i have to say buy them they are good.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Reliability

Under power compared to the factory shock, it rides like a marshmallow

I have a V6 Explorer XLT Monroe's website says it's a suggested replacement. My car handled 20 year old shock absorbers better than these little things! When I removed the old ones I should have known they wouldn't work (significant size difference), the new Monroe shocks are lean. The car drives like a marshmallow now. If that's what you're looking for, they have it. I've suffered from these bad excuses for bumps for several years and will now fit something better as the lower wishbones needโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Good but not great

I ordered from stock as most of the bad reviews were due to the shock absorbers not fitting their car. One of the shocks had no hardware in the box, although it was said to come with everything and was in new condition. Revain got it right and sent me another one that had all the hardware and I sent back the one that didn't have the hardware. The shock absorbers fit perfectly on a 1998 Ford Explorer. I used them to get rid of the old air shocks and do away with the air suspension system. Theyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
