Shocks and no Not Road Kings

So I haven't been to happy with most shock brands. I was due for a new set. I happened to have a set of Sachs from 2014 OEM frieghtliner that had not been used. I saved them from a cut-off I bought. I decided to find matching ones for the steers. Freightliner wanted $147.00 a piece. I search for hours online and made phone calls. No luck. Then I called Volvo and gave them the Monroe part number. They couldnt look up the Sachs#. The Monroe number crossed. 137.00 for the pair! Same Sachs shocks. I will let you guys know if how it rides whenever I feel like going back to work.

 

I did not say that. Sachs is Volvo Oem. I purchased Sachs. For half the price at Volvo vs. Freightliner.

 

I've always run monroes. But the last few sets dont seam to last. In all my phone calls today. I learned that there is issues with Monroe's and Gabriels. There quality varies dependent on company profits.

 

Well as a mechanic the fleets I have worked for replaced when broken,missing, or leaking. As a owner op and a kid that worked on his owner op father truck. I have allways went 100k. But keep a close eye on them.
