Cheap Shocks

[msmith65]

I'm looking at Monroe or Gabriel for the front of my 2WD 1994 Ex.

This car is driven gently by my wife; no need for gas shocks or springs etc. The shocks on it are worn out and the truck bobs after bumps. I just want the bare minimum for basic control in street driving.

If you have experience with one or the other brand, please fill me in.

Dude! It's your wife! I don't know about you, but mine deserves the best I can give her. Besides, just about everything you get these days is gas. You can get a complete set of either of those brands for around $120...maybe less. She has to be worth at least that much doesn't she???

www.shockwarehouse.com is a vendor here i think!

Exactly. And if I spend more than bottom dollar on parts for a 15-year-old vehicle, I'll catch hell.

I want stock performance at the lowest price. That's all.

Thank you. I found Gabriels at OttoZone for $16.99 ea. plus tax. Monroes are $3 more at OldReilly's. So, pretty competitive.

UPDATE:

The Gabriels work beautifully. No more bobbing on lumpy roads.
