Shock absorbers Monroe or Sachs
Well, it's home and boy oh boy does it feel tight as a drum ????????
It's firmer than the Sachs/Eibach combo; but not stupidly - you still feel the bumps, lumps and potholes as I did before, but there's no 'crashyness' over them; it just rides over them now
I’m running some Monroe mono tubes that I got off rock auto ???? somewhere there is a listing of shock absorber lengths by number, after I got my mounts situated I looked up shocks using that.
Monroe Severe Service shocks front and rear. I've had them on my 1999 Crown Victoria Base Model since August 2020.
So I kinda disagree with him about Amazon, example my Monroe shocks are from Amazon and they are still doing great years later.
Sachs and bilstein is good as well. They are the OE brands for shock absorbers
Ive put dozens of monroe shocks on Prius from rock auto, no complaints
for shocks find Bilstien good for OE or 'Yellow' for \u00a3\u00a3\u00a3s and a cheaper option Monroe.
I have this creaking noise since I installed new Sachs shocks & top mounts. \nIt's dead silent on sunny days or when the temperature outside is above 15c. \nAny ideas since the mechanic says it's just bad quality rubber on top mounts and the only solution is to go with a Lemforder top mount.
I've always considered Monroe the bottom of the barrel for shocks.
Got 3 sets of Monroe shocks in the last month that were all leaking out of the box. Had one fresh out of the box that was able to be compressed by hand with barely any force. Had struts from them as well that were leaking fresh out the box.
