I'm tired of Monroe gas shocks. You can never tell when it's going bad. And it does not last that long either.
How to tell if you need to replace your Shocks!

If you feel like the axles are not being controlled, you have worn shocks. One should not feel secondary vibrations. It is very hard on all suspension components and tires get to bouncing, shortening their life as well.
It is my opinion that most over the counter shocks are too light for tractor trailers.
And, mentioning shock replacement to a fleet manager will certainly ruin his day.RubyEagle, Keepforgettingmypassword, The Railsplitter and 1 other person Thank this. -

Oil loses viscosity, over time of use. When that happens, the shock loses damping. A loss of damping results in a loss of control of the movement. That’s the normal scenario of a bad/worn out shock.

I get peterbilt shocks and they are around $80 but it’s been a year almost since I bought them. I replace yearly. I may try those couple hundred dollar fox ones.
