Put KYB Excel G on the rear of my Commander and they ride too firm and hop on sharp bumps. I'm returning them to Auto Zone and replacing with Monroe Matics.

The OEM had more damper movement. Simply put, I think Monroe would have given a stiffer ride. I'd go for the OEM any day. It is tuned specifically for the vehicle in question. I guess I would be buying onmy OEM shocks for my Fiat Linea instead of aftermarket supplies.

@1soupasaurus2 жыл бұрын
When it hits the bump, the new shock recoils once, then holds it's ground where the orm one appears to bounce similar to a ball, full recoil, half, quarter. Generally while driving you want to bounce less.
@growingup4487 Жыл бұрын
that's good, it's got no difference with oem
@dutch3795 Жыл бұрын
But doesn't that result in a bumpier, uncomfortable ride? When you hit a bump that energy has to go somewhere. So either the shock absorbs it by compressing and decompressing and preventing the impact from being felt inside the car or the shock remains stiff and the impact from hitting the bump is transferred directly to the body of the car and leads to a bumpy uncomfortable ride inside the vehicle.@@1soupasaurus

Shocks so bad I get wheel hop at higher speeds, and I feel like front end is sliding when turning if i hit small bumps. If your shocks are bad you have no control. Cause they keep your wheels in contact. Rear shocks being shitty will cause you to lose control in the winter really easy. Getting new shocks now, definitely excited to feel the difference, and have them before the snow comes.

Test is not proof of one being better than the other. Why not get a set of new oem to compare to the new Monroe shocks? I understand it costs money, but your putting this video out here saying this is factual proof, but there are many variables you didn't address. How about a new video to address longevity or performance today?
@fymchannel39463 жыл бұрын
so the conclusion
@BSD200010 ай бұрын
You can definitely see the vehicle moving up and down more with the Monroe shocks vs the OEM. It's similar to my recent experience replacing the rear shocks on my Lexus RX 450h; I replaced the OEM Lexus shocks with the recommended KYB brand shocks and there is a noticeable 'intrusion' of up and down body movement due to the new shocks having more rebound and resistance to compression. Instead of 'floating' over the bumps while absorbing the bump, you end up feeling every dip and bump within the cabin as an up and down movement. I ended up buying a new set of OEM shocks and the ride quality was restored - no more harshness. The key to ride quality seems to be finding the balance between suspension compliance to road conditions without affecting the vehicle's inertia to remain level while keeping the tire in constant contact with the road. Too much shock rebound and the vehicle is forced 'up and over' a bump, which creates a harsh ride.

@Wakevids4 жыл бұрын
Jacob Ball yes that is obvious. But i am not the person who replaces new mediocre OEM parts on my vehicles with new mediocre after market parts. I thought this was interesting to see how the old parts lose performance and how new low cost parts can improve the ride.

Yea always replace them in pairs. You want consistent performance on both sides. I think there could be safety problems in emergency handling situations if not and you could end up with a variation in the height of your vehicle from one side to the other, not good.
