Shock absorbers Dobinsons or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
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
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
Happy to report Dobinsons MRA92-A2522 12” travel fit quite neatly in the Archive Shock relo. The 3-way adjustment and massive finned external reservoir are clutch. The ride is massively improved.
Pros: ride massively improved
Part number: MRA92-A2522
I’ve got the Dobinsons remote res shocks in my Navara. The shocks are real nice. Plenty of adjustments available.
Pros: plenty of adjustments
Vehicle:
Nissan
Dobbys MRR work well but they are the best for overlanding set ups that add weight to the LC.
Pros: best for overlanding
IMS has been great for me, I don’t think I’d find myself using adjustment to its full potential so I chose to use the savings for aftermarket UCAs and LT rear
Pros: has been great
Vehicle:
Lexus GX
I'm on a 2" IMS setup and relatively stock weight. They are "firmer but less crashy" than stock, if that makes sense. If you're loaded they're extremely nice. They're also a dream on dirt and gravel, and the low speed dampening is still strong enough that they don't compress too much when hitting harder rocky obstacles.
Pros: firmer but less crashy
Vehicle:
Lexus GX
The only part to go bad was the rear shocks at 56K.
Pros: rear shocks lasted
Cons: rear shocks bad
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 90123 km
Took our new 2024 North American model Tiguan in for maintenance as there is a clear hard clunk from front suspension going over bumps. I know from experience this is the rebound setting failing and the shocks hitting the lowers hard enough to shudder the steering.
Cons: hard clunk over bumps
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
