Question:

I have a 2006 Hyundai Azera and want to replace my worn out factory shocks and struts, is there anything aftermarket available?

Answer:

We have Monroe Sensatrac shocks and struts for the 06 Azera, they will restore your car’s ride and handling without breaking the bank.  You can see those here:

2006 – 2008 Hyundai Azera Replacement Shocks and Struts

Question:

The struts on my 2002 Toyota Avalon are worn out and now the car doesn’t handle like it did from the factory, what parts do you recommend for restoring the factory handling and ride?

Answer:

The best struts we have for your car are KYB GR2s, they are designed to be a direct factory replacement for your factory struts and are valved a little bit stiffer than the factory units to give you more control and reduce the car’s tendency to wallow over uneven roads. You can see those here:

2002 Toyota Avalon Front Right Strut
2002 Toyota Avalon Front Left Strut

2002 Toyota Avalon Rear Right Strut
2002 Toyota Avalon Rear Left Strut

I have a ‘06 Tahoe 4×4 Z71…trying to pull a 20′  metal car trailer..rear end dips way down..need advice..how to upgrade

Answer :

We have two options for you that will both give your Tahoe extra support, the first and best is the Airlift 1000 airbag kit.  This works in addition to your existing spring and shock and needs to be manually inflated, either with an onboard kit that we sell or an external air compressor (not hard to do, but some people don’t want to reach under the truck every time they tow a large load.

The second option is the Monroe Loadeveler, which is a standard shock with a strong coil spring added to it.  The Loadleveler installs in place of your factory rear shocks and never needs to be adjusted, but will give you harsher ride when the truck is empty.

Question:

I’m looking for new shocks for m7 2004 Nissan Armada 2wd, I don’t do any offroading or towing with the truck.  What shocks would you recommend?

Answer:

The shocks we sell made by Rancho, Monroe and KYB  are all ok for normal driving.

The shocks we sell for a 2004 Armada can be found here:

Question:

I was looking at the  Monroe Sensatrac 71113 for my 2003 Subaru Baja, is there a better choice?

Answer:

For an aggressive driver, the KYB GR2s would be a good choice, they are more performance tuned than the Sensatrac shocks, which are designed to be an OEM replacement.

You can see all the shocks we offer for a 2003 Subaru Baja here: http://www.shockwarehouse.com/index.cfm?mode=results&selected_model=4441&selected_year=2003

But both are a twin tube low pressure design. (like the original Subaru units). In that respect they are the same.

KYB also offers front and rear units.

I have a 2008 F250 4×4, I just installed a Ready Lift SST leveling kit. The kit is 2.5″ in the front and 2.0″ in the rear. I am interested in ordering a set of the Bilstein 5100 shocks, but I am not sure which ones I need for the lift.  Can you give me the correct part numbers I need for this application?

Answer:

For the modification, you want the Bilstein 5100s.
Front BE5-6681 and rear BE5-6246.

I’m interested in replacing the worn out shocks on my 2004 4×4 Chevy (I want Bilsteins like the factory Z-71 and I plan to add Z-71 stickers to the truck)  I pull two wheel heavy utility trailers as well as towing my 18′ boat, so I need shocks that will help with that.

Answer:

That’s a very popular choice.

You want the Bilstein Heavy Duty shocks.
