Shock absorbers Dobinsons or Monroe
I had a shop recommended KYB, but I went for the cheaper Monroe brand on Amazon. I got it installed today and so far the ride is smooth.
Pros: ride is smooth
Cons: cheaper brand
Shock Absorber is always a good thing to a lot while you're thinking about it.
Pros: good thing
My MRR’s have the exact same symptoms. Also around 30k miles. Dobinsons is awesome and is taking it in on warranty no questions asked really. They’re the best.
Pros: taking it in warranty
Cons: same symptoms
Mileage: 30000 km
Am montat pe 2 masini diferite (O2 si O2 FL) monroe respectiv kyb si nu observ nicio diferenta intre ele. Ambele sunt ok si la confort si la stabilitate.
Pros: confort si stabilitate
Cons: nicio diferenta observata
Vehicle:
Skoda Octavia
I’ve got Dobinsons MRA’s on my patrol - highly rate them! I’ve just finished a 7 month lap including the cape and Tele track. Being able to dial them was a godsend for corrugations, definitely helped to dampen the vibrations.
Pros: dampen the vibrations
Cons: rear bracket placement
Vehicle:
Nissan Patrol
Mileage: 23000 km
Got me some Dobinsons twin tube shocks and heavy duty coil springs. Totalling to 3’ of lift ✅ money well spent
Pros: money well spent
Ordered 2 stock rear shocks , Monroe offroad type real bellows and a rear spring.
Yes Monroe are junk. Anything Tenneco touches usually becomes junk. Monroe started coming OE on Audi in the last couple years and I am seeing them fail in as little as 15,000 miles.
Cons: Monroe are junk, fail quickly
Vehicle:
Audi
Mileage: 15000 km
Not a mechanic, but the general consensus I read from mechanics when doing mine is that Monroe can be garbage and stick with KYB.
Cons: Monroe can be garbage
Had new Monroe shocks on my tag axle and they failed within a month take that for what you will.
Pros: null
Cons: failed within a month
