Shock absorbers Monroe or GABRIEL
No meu carro troquei e coloquei Monroe, tem 2 anos e 17 mil km. Rodando perfeito.
Pros: Rodando perfeito
Mileage: 17000 km
Monroe OESpectrums have a great ride and are very affordable.
Pros: great ride, affordable
The originals are Monroes if I'm not mistaken. I've replaced them all round on the my F from Autodoc as well, with new ones same brand. Fairly cheap and easy to fit.
Pros: fairly cheap, easy to fit
Vehicle:
MG F
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
Bilsteins are probably best, unless you want to cough up a lot for fox. I have Gabriel premium right now. Pretty good, but not as good as Bilsteins.
Pros: pretty good
Cons: not as good
Monroe shocks on pick-up truck, not abused, only lasted two years. KYB was major improvement.
Cons: only lasted two years
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
I just did my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 and put these on the back.
The springs supposedly add about 500 lbs to the leaf springs. After receiving them, I was a little disappointed by the plastic stop at the top of the springs, and the ride is pretty rough empty. Not recommending them (only had them a couple of weeks) but I'm sure there are similar products.
Pros: add 500 lbs
Cons: ride is rough
Vehicle:
Dodge RAM
