      Comments about Monroe Gas-Matic LT Shock Absorber:

      I replaced the rear shocks on my 2004 Grand Caravan with this product. They were easy to install and cured the van's rear bouncing over expansion joints and general "loose" feel in the back. They did improve the rear suspension so well that I now notice more things in the front suspension.

                    You can't beat these shocks for the $$ especially after Advance online discounts! Installation is a breeze. They handle great, improved ride performance, and load handling. I am sure sensatracs are better but for a mere replacement and the money, these are definitely winners!

                            A:

                            Nivomat is the name for a vehicle suspension technology. Compared to the common use of springs, struts, and shock absorbers in a car suspension, Nivomat replaces all of these components with a single unit per wheel which provides damping, ride control, and a self-levelling function.
