Review on 🚗 Gabriel 77809 CONTROL Monotube Absorber - Superior Suspension Performance by Ben Chase

Shock absorbers are wearing parts. No matter how "good" they are, they wear out. First the HF goes away, and then it gets worse. Things to look out for and look out for are rusted fasteners, particularly on the passenger side. On older vehicles, you may not be able to easily get screws from the dealer, so check online hardware stores. The bolts in the truck were metric, hardened pieces, and the dealer could only find bolts and nuts in various locations around the country. I found a suitable replacement at my local hardware store for a quarter of the retail price. Always use anti-seize compound when assembling. Check the sway bar connections when you make the shocks as they are likely ready for replacement as well. Also, don't forget about those ball joints as they have trouble on rough roads, especially when you're plowing. How do you work? Well the truck stays on the road after hitting a bump like it's supposed to. Amazing how you can adjust to the slowly deteriorating suspension handling until one day you find yourself in the next lane after a bump.
