Road King Shocks a rip off!!

Played around today and still replaced all 4 shocks, 2 airbags, and a torque arm.... about $200 for 4 new Monroes at Webbs, cheaper than World Wide.

 

Were the bushings in the torque arm bushings hard to change? I need to do a set for the first time and have been putting it off.

 

That's an easy job. 20-30 mins. Might I suggest getting the ATRO poly bushing set. Almost same price as rubber, and the torque rod is a little more beefy. I've had better luck with them than OEM. Just buy the complete rod with bushings in them. You won't save much money by buying just bushings and pressing them in your old torque rod

 

Thank you

 

If we keep up this kind of information sharing, mechanics might start getting less business.

 

I dont think I have ever spent more than $400 for all 6 shocks. What ever was on sale,.. yep,.. that'll do pig,.. that'll do.

What else you want to work on. I've probably already done it to my truck. I'm a transmission and two rear ends away from replacing everything major on my truck. LOL

I'm just not good with replacing interior. But that's something I want to tackle one day. Luckily mine is still in excellent shape.

 

This is what killed me about Road Kings. Spend $2k on shocks then when they have to be rebuilt at an added cost you still need to buy new shocks to keep rolling until your Road Kings are returned, it's retarded.

 

Yeah shut up everyone! lol

 

sez the guy that tells everyone how to fix their own stuff.....lol.
