Review on ๐Ÿš— ACDelco Professional 530-387 Premium Gas-Charged Rear Shock Absorber for Enhanced Performance by Cody Hunt

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Complete crap, wouldn't run them again if they paid me

2004 Suburb. Drive a lot, the first 5 weeks. After less than 200 miles they started making noise and ran like a garage, worse than the 15 year old factory shocks with 180,000 miles. In fact, the stock ride controls were still surprisingly good, all things considered. I'd rather take them out of my garbage heap and put them back on. But some reviews say I installed the wrong one. OK, sure, buddy. 2 screws and I got them wrong I'm sure. If they're lucky enough to have them, God forbid. As for me and the fact that I've always done maintenance and mechanical work myself and had a lot of experience with trucks both privately and professionally. I wondered upon opening the box, "Hah, they seem to be a lot smaller in diameter than the factory shocks," but I convinced myself that shock technology must have made quite a big leap forward in the last decade and a half. I'm so stupid. These pieces are about half the diameter. Again they felt great for 5 WEEKS in my old but very nice and well maintained truck. It's impossible to misinstall them like the top reviewer would suggest, they're just rubbish. If you're selling your truck and you just want the cheapest shock absorbers and don't care if they last, then of course I think buy them.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
