Shock absorbers GABRIEL or OLD MAN EMU
Reviews
I put in the Gabriel’s at 151k and have taken my 02 into nasty desert. They’ve held up great. For the last 40k
Pros: held up great
Mileage: 151000 km
I put Gabriel shocks and struts on mine.
I switched out to some medium Old Man Emus on my 2014 Limited after the stock XREAS system started leaking at 120k. Rides great and the slight lift allows me to get onto some steeper trails without worrying about pulling my front bumper off.
Pros: rides great, slight lift
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Mileage: 120000 km
Old man emu are the best. Just fit those and thank me later.
Pros: best, transform the car
Vehicle:
Land Rover Discovery
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
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 have a Ford transit connect and after 3 mos my gabriel shocks bottomed out absolute CRAP!!!
Cons: bottomed out after 3 months
Vehicle:
Ford Transit Connect I
Gabriel shock absorbers are absolute shit.
Cons: absolute shit
Gabriel and Monroe shocks are super trash. You’ll be lucky if they last two years typically.
Cons: super trash, short life
