Shocks provide a firm, stable ride
Easy to install and adapt to vehicle
Significantly improves ride quality
Pros: firm, stable ride
Cons: extremely stiff ride
Part number: 49228
If you decide to go this route, Gabriel Ultra shocks and struts from Rockauto.com are good. Avoid Monroe and the cheaper brands. KYB are OEM, but the aftermarket ones are stiffer than the OEM, but are excellent quality.
Pros: Gabriel Ultra shocks good
Cons: Monroe, cheaper brands avoid
I used a set of Gabriel Shocks for the front and back of my 98 LX, they are spring assisted load shocks. Super cheap, but it's been 5 years and they are still going strong.
Pros: still going strong
Cons: super cheap
Gabriel and Monroe shocks are super trash. You’ll be lucky if they last two years typically.
Cons: super trash, short life
I put some Gabriels on my beater 2004 and really like them. Got 30k on them and still ride nice.
Pros: ride nice
Mileage: 30000 km
I used Gabriel's on front and KYB in the back. I also replaced the sway bar links. They were busted and rusted out/seized to strut.
Pros: replaced sway bar links
Cons: busted and rusted
These Gabriels are tight. The rear feels a little on the stiff side, but they should soften in a couple thousand miles. They seem really well made, too. The shroud covering the piston seems stout and they came with nice bushings. The stock KYBs were absolutely shot, but they gave it their best try.
Pros: well made, nice bushings
Cons: rear feels stiff
For years I used Gabriel brand shocks on my pickup trucks. Couldn’t tell the difference between them and Monroe shocks.
Pros: similar to Monroe shocks
Cons: none apparent
I like Gabriel shocks. Gabriel offers one of the most extensive light vehicle product lines in the aftermarket. Not to mention the most durable, too
Pros: most durable
