Review on Monroe 553001 Gas Magnum Shock Absorber by Ken Hamdan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very disappointed with these shock absorbers.

I ordered these shock absorbers because I was replacing the upper arms. I wanted to save labor because the front suspension was already disassembled. The strikes went smoothly. The journey went smoothly for the first few hundred kilometers. Now it's terrible to drive. Very hard. Shock absorbers should absorb bumps in the road, not tolerate them. I was trying to save a few bucks by ordering these shock absorbers. Big mistake. I will not order these again. Next time I will order normal shock absorbers. ETA. I read some other reviews. I don't know how they could give 5 stars for THESE shocks/struts. Just so you know what type of car they drove, it was the 2007 Lincoln Town Car L series. I have 5 town cars so I can tell the difference when driving. 1x 2004, 1x 2005, 1x 2006, 2x 2007 The labor required to install these racks exceeds the cost of the racks. Pennywise, the pound is stupid.

Pros
  • Oversized
Cons
  • Modern
