Shock absorbers Monroe or OLD MAN EMU
Reviews
I did it on my 2009 Corolla standing at 130k km. The chap who installed it said that I’d need to replace those within a year. It has been four now and it is still working as it should.
Pros: working as it should, long-lasting
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
Mileage: 130000 km
Monroe’s tend to be very good OE equivalents. Just put a set on a p2 Volvo v70r and they ride pretty damn good in my opinion.
Pros: very good OE equivalents, ride pretty good
Vehicle:
Volvo V70
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
I always ran Monroe shocks on my Rangers/B series since I did mostly on road driving and they held up great when I did go off road.
Pros: held up great
Vehicle:
Ford Ranger
New Monroe (factory supplier, found their stampings on the shocks) front shocks en route.
Pros: factory supplier
Vehicle:
Audi A4
I had Old Man Emu shocks and springs put in my 07 sport. The XREAS was sagging severely to the left and was leaking fluid.
Cons: XREAS sagging, leaking fluid
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Been avoiding Monroe at the shop, they come back leaking too often.
Cons: leaking too often
I just put Monroes on all around and my truck rides like a Sherman tank.
Cons: rides like Sherman tank
Glad you ruled out old man emu. I have them on my 100 and they are rough!
Cons: rough ride
Vehicle:
Toyota Land Cruiser
