Worn-Out Shocks and Struts? Feel the Difference with Monroe

Spring is right around the corner, and if you’re anything like me you’ll find that you have several new projects to work on. While other people are busy “spring cleaning,” people like us are working on our “spring maintenance.” And speaking of spring maintenance, let’s transition to a shocking subject: the worn-out shocks and struts on your vehicle. Shocks and struts control the movement of the springs and maximize tire-to-road contact for stability. It’s a simple job, but a very important one.

Trust the Experts

No one knows suspension components quite like the folks over at Monroe. They’ve been around since 1916, and in those 100+ years they’ve learned a thing or two. The company began by manufacturing tire pumps for early automobiles. Ten years later it saw the need for increased driver control. This led to the development of its first damper, the Monroe “Shock Eliminator.” Over 90 years later, these guys are an industry leader in the ride control category.

Monroe doesn’t just claim to be the best, nor is it in the business of empty promises. In fact, the company offers one of the best product guarantees in the business. If you aren’t happy with the way your car rides after installing qualifying Monroe shocks or struts on all four corners of your vehicle, they’ll refund your money. They call it their “Feel The Difference™ Guarantee.”

Monroe has led the way for the rest of the industry in the ride control category. Its product catalog covers most makes, models, and driving styles, so let’s take a closer look at what’s available so we can address the worn-out shocks and struts your ride is wearing.

Fast Reflexes

The Reflex line of shocks and struts are widely recognized in the ride control segment of the aftermarket. These shocks and struts are best suited for use in light trucks and SUVs, which have a higher center of gravity.

Reflex shocks and struts feature valving technology which automatically adjusts to absorb rough road impact. This gives you, the driver, greater control and enhanced stability by reducing body roll and dive during evasive maneuvers or tight turns.

Quick and Easy

Quick Struts are hot products in both the professional and DIY market due to their quality, simplicity, and convenience. Since Quick Struts come fully-assembled, there’s no need for dangerous coil spring compressors, saving you time and money. Every part of the strut assembly is brand new and application-specific, from the strut, to the bearings, hardware, and springs.

On the Air

Max-Air® shock absorbers are a great fit for drivers who need to haul heavy loads or hook up to a trailer but want to keep the vehicle level and the headlights pointed downward where they belong. The large-volume air chamber can be inflated up to 150 psi with the vehicle loaded and deflated for normal driving. The hydraulic oil contains special modifiers to ensure consistent and adequate damping no matter the weather conditions.

A pair of these shocks can keep your vehicle sitting level with up to 1,100 pounds of additional weight loaded!

Good as New

Last, but certainly not least, Monroe’s OESpectrum® ride control products represent the pinnacle of ride control technology. These shocks and struts are designed for each application to provide added control while reducing harshness usually experienced with rough, bumpy road conditions.

“Just one worn ride control unit on your vehicle can affect your safety by increasing the distance you need to stop in certain conditions.” Learn more in the video below.

These innovative shocks and struts have been trusted by car manufacturers for years and now they’re available in the consumer market. Monroe even backs these shocks and struts with a five-year warranty! If you want to restore the ride quality in your late-model car, truck, or SUV look no further than the Monroe OESpectrum® lineup.

After 100+ years in the industry, Monroe continues to innovate new technology and find new ways to improve the ride quality and stability of your vehicle. If you find yourself facing dangerous worn-out shocks and struts this spring, look no further than the experts over at Monroe to get you back in shape.
