    That Central Illinois chain of dealers seems to have best prices on shocks. I got replacement Monroes for cab on my Volvo for $ 30.

    Perhaps true when it comes to manufacturer defects but not true when it comes to normal wear and tear. I believe Monroe say that their shocks need replacing after 100k. I think it's good practice to change once a year or when new tires are fitted.

    Monroe is gas charged, Gabriel is hydraulic dampening, same thing, you're not going to notice a difference from one to the other as they should be replaced every 100k miles.

    You can purchase Gabriel Shocks on www.amazon.com anywhere from $36-$41 with free shipping and depending on your Home State, no sales tax.
