Gabriel Answerman - Choosing the Right Shock or Strut

[@wilborth5th]

Complicated subject, if you change your shocks and don’t replace your coil springs you won’t see the difference and more or less your shocks will get wear out even before you know it, sometimes your control arms are damaged all bushing components are to be replaced, but assuming you buy new shocks companies who sell them won’t even bother to give that information

ordered a set of 58662 rear shocks for my Silverado 1500, and the units came in with no charge and are approximately 10 shorter than OEM units. No straps on them, and I can move open and closed by hand. Called to double check they didn't sent me the wrong ones, and they said nope they are correct and hung up on me. So in sort, Be sure what you / whom you purchase from as you may be screwed. when to Autozone, and and go the correct size for only $15 dollars chepaer than what I paid for a "QUALITY product that doesn't fit "

Hello, I've got a light truck that can be compared with Dodge Ram 2500 with less load, smooth driving with less offroading and no trailer used on it. I don't want to lift up the vehicle than 2 inches. I'm looking for a smooth/comfortable ride and handling. Request you to suggest best models (model number) of Gabriel Ultra shocks for my requirement. Also the best steering damper (mono or dual) My sincere thanks in advance for anybody who's going to suggest me. Thank you

I bought a set of max controll front shocks for my 1999 f159 ....... What is the wire tie for?.....Dave

That keeps the shock so it fits in the box.

I have a 1996 Chevrolet 1500 Silverado truck and when I'm driving,the front end suspension squeaks.Is that an indication that the front shock absorbers need replacing?
