Monroe Sensa-Trac

1995 Explorer XLT 112,000

Anybody have shocks put on lately? Mine were finally going and I went with the Monroe Sensatrac.
Couldn't help the deal. Got quoted over $400 from Merlin. HA
Then $330 from Goodyear. Figured I could try myself with my mechanics tools - Would still cost about $170.

Went to all places - Sears, and they have a promo going.
Got all 4 replaced for $154. Free installation.

I figure for the price - its a great way to go. I dont go offroding so I didnt need the Monroe Ranchos. Just daily driving.

I put sensa-tracs on mine a couple years ago and they really improved the stability. The nose used to dive quite a bit during hard braking causing the backend to act a little squirrelly. With the sensa-tracs, the nose doesn't dive much at all and the backend stays put. I have also heard good things about the reflex shocks but I couldn't turn down the deal at the time either.
