You can see all of the parts for the 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante here:

The Monroe Sensatrac will be a basic OEM replacement shock/strut, while the KYB GR2 will be a slightly sportier part that will eliminate some of the car’s body roll in corners and nosedive under hard braking.

Question:

One of the front struts on my 06 Focus is leaking, and I want to replace all of my shocks and struts at once.  Do you have any aftermarket shocks that will fit my car? I’m not looking to turn it into a racecar, just want a good safe replacement shock and strut.

Answer:

We have Monroe Sensatrac shocks and struts built for your Focus, they are good quality twin-tube units like the ones that came with your car from the factory.  You can see those here:

You may also want to replace your factory upper strut mounts while you have the strut and spring off of the car, you can see those here:

Question:
I have a 1500 Z71 package. I just wanted to know why I can’t use the monroe sensa-trac with the Z71 package? Thanks!

Answer:
There is no fitment issue with using a standard shock on a Z71 model truck, Monroe doesn’t advise it because it won’t restore your handling to the same level it was from the factory. The Z71 package came with high pressure monotube shocks for offroading, so if you want to restore the factory ride you’ll need an equivalent shock. Using a low pressure twin tube shock like the sensatrac will give you a ride similar to the standard 1500 pickups.

I want to replace the springs and struts on my 2002 Chevy Venture minivan, is there anything available for a DIY guy to do in my garage doesn’t require a dangerous spring compressor?

Answer:

Monroe makes a Quickstrut specifically for people in your situation who need to replace their front struts and springs but don’t want to pay a mechanic to do it or risk using a spring compressor.  The Monroe Quickstrut for a 2002 Chevy Venture (also fits Pontiac Transport and Montana and Oldsmobile Silhouette) comes pre-assembled with a strut, spring and mounts and is ready to be installed with basic hand tools.

I want Monroe Sensa Traks for all 4; front & rear. How does your warranty

exchange work if required??  I presently have Rancho 5000 shocks & they’re

too hard.

Answer:

Monroe only makes a Sensatrac for the rear, the 37078 we list here -

http://www.shockwarehouse.com/index.cfm?mode=results&selected_model=4323&selected_year=2004

Like the original Nissan shocks, the Sensatrac, Monroe Reflex, KYB GR2 and Rancho are all a twin tube low pressure design.

All basically the same (minus the various gimmicks).

Currently there are 4 shocks on my travel trailer.  They are red and have the following numbers stamped on them:  733699 and G04442A0523.

They are similar to your Monroe 555025 but the the overall length from post to post is 22″ and when the shock is compressed it is 17″.  I am wondering what you have that would replace these.

Thank you for your assistance with this matter.

ANSWER:

Monroe crosses those numbers over to a 31069 shock -

17.375 extended

stud on each end.
