Comments about Monroe Gas-Magnum Shock Absorber:
The best way to enhance the ride and handling characteristics of your vehicle even if you are a casual, or like we used to say a "Sunday" (God help us) driver.
If you make any suspension improvements such as perfomance bushings and add these shocks you will feel like you are driving a new car. Although I changed the shocks rubber bushings to urethane,because of my driving style, the factory installed rubber bushings will give you a great ride/handling/steering control improvement without having to spend really big bucks, and you get a great warranty in the process. That is especially nice for people that like to drive their vehicle for many many years.
I will continue to buy this brand for all my vehicles.
