my rear shocks are 151,000 miles old and i was like is hitting hard and the guy was like i know why you dont have any shocks lol im actually getting monroe reflex shocks
I work at a local parts store in Monroe MI and a local Belle Tire in the same town Monroe Sensa-Track shocks are junk but the Monroe Matic are a really good shock
acturally a shock stops the oscillating in which the spring does after hitting a bump. thats why a ruined shock causes a car to bounce many times is because the spring is oscillating.
Everyone hates on Monroe shocks. I've got them in the rear of my car and it's never felt better. For the price, I can't complain. Most people have never put a new set of Monroe shocks in their car, they just take out the abused original ones and then complain about how bad they are, or parrot what they heard on a ricer forum
I still have a set of Monroe shocks since 1982 on a customised Chrysler Valiant. They had enough abuse and are still working like new. Before that I has a set of Monroe in my other two cars, a 67 Mustang Cobra and a 69 Pontiac GTO. They were still on these cars after 11 years in my possession. Monroe are tough and do their job for at least 30 years lifespan. Mine are now 37 years old and still going strong. I had photos of these cars on G+, the bastard Google had to shut it down. Shame. 🤨
My 2000 Explorer has had Monroe shocks since it was new. The last pair I installed have lasted 50,000 miles but are starting to wear out. I’m replacing them with Rancho RS9000XL’s since you can adjust them. I like Monroe but I’ll be spending a bit more this time and investing in some upper end shocks.
As soon as I seen an actual worker being part of the manufacturing process whereby allowed to earn a pay for him and his family, I knew this had to be at least 10-15 years old
Sadly you're right. Either make it in China for nearly free labor or here in US by a robot that's long ago paid for itself.Love greedy Corp American factory owners?
This nation is currently in an immigration crisis. We the people of middle class will lose our asses on this.Why?Simple. The dems want the eventual votes from then legal,currently not so legal,immigrants. Then on the other side are the republicans who want all the cheap illegal immigrants labor here they can get because biz is more profitable that way.Immigration reform will never pass in the U.S..,no matter who's President or party in power.
@@imbadrotten5333 Yep and we can expect things to keep getting worse. Sure, some things may get better here and there but eventually everything is going to a communistic style governing over all people once the New World Order is finished being constructed
I actually work for a company that makes shocks right here in America, this video is old and it's sure not how shocks are made today, all those robots in this video is no where to be found where I work, it is more hands on than this video shows.
I'm a professional auto parts person, and can tell you that as much as I support Monroe's mostly American-made products, their quality control is TERRIBLE. I saw very inconsistent damping performance from one box to the next of the same part numbers, made on the same day, and had to warranty tons of them for premature fluid leaks and/or faulty gas seals. KYB, Showa, and Tokico are the best products for the money. Gabriel is only so-so.
aha i got those shocks in the rear of my 98 pajero. towed about 5 tonne of mini roller with it. still only compresses about and inch and half. but thinking of getting a 2 inch lift on it
Strut holds the shock and spring in one unit.you can remove spring and replace shock on some cars. others you buy a whole new strut and reuse your spring. Most front wheel drive cars have struts.
I was optimistic once the current president won a surprising victory. When this one person gladly and easily made almost every member of congress angry at him all at same time I knew he was doing something right. Few if any in recent decades have been able and chose to self fund a trip to the white house. The raised my eyebrows alone. He isn't paid for,or afraid of those who are.But,even tho I myself believe he's for the legal people, one person can't fix this without at least some congressional help.too many old school establishment GOP and too many lazy younger kids want freebies for him to really get big stuff done.im in my early 40s,and worked for every bite I've ate since before high school graduation. Mirrors don't scare me in the least.DC would do well if people there had to use them more. But they have no conscience if the damn walls were mirror. We are so screwed.
Well, when a daddy Godwin and a Mommy Godwin love each other veeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrry much they kiss really, really hard and 9 months later a little Dexter falls out the mommy. The end.
the rubber bushings in ever set of gabriels ive bought have rotted away in a year. went with monroe this time. been 28 months now. gabriels are garbage
I work for Cofap and this video isn't the way we make shocks, a lot less robots and more employees involved in the process and there isn't any conveyor belt. Closes thing to a conveyor belt is when they are going through the paint booth.
I was about to post the following: Those things are DAMPERS, the springs "ABSORB THE SHOCK" if a manufacturer can't tell the difference, buy a damper from one that can. So it looks like a few of us know the difference. I once worked for a motor racing team and was told the difference, in no uncertain terms and with a few expletives included. I never called them "shocks" again. :-)

I personally use KYB MonoMax for my truck.. absolute awesome as far as towing and carrying weight in the bed.
I love how people bash Monroe or Gabriel and say buy OEM shocks instead.
Guess who makes a lot of OEM shocks? Monroe and Gabriel.
What about Sachs?
I take this video recommendation as a sign to go rebuild my shocks on my car... it’s been long overdue.
my rear shocks are 151,000 miles old and i was like is hitting hard and the guy was like i know why you dont have any shocks lol im actually getting monroe reflex shocks

acturally a shock stops the oscillating in which the spring does after hitting a bump. thats why a ruined shock causes a car to bounce many times is because the spring is oscillating.
Oscillating as in up and down and non stop.
These are actually dampers - the shock is absorbed by the spring be it coil, leaf or even a torsion bar.....
God I love this 1080p going on here...
Old video is old
In my experience KYB shocks are way better than Monroe shocks. Still an interesting video.
Just bought some severe service shocks. can't wait to throw em on.
I just watched Ohlins adjustable shock setup video, then I watched this which comes standard in most cars. I'm shocked.....all puns intended.
I've had good luck with Monroes -- but it was years ago when I was doing car stuff.
Am proud to be work in shock absorber production and base assembly ❤️
Sir kha par location mujhe manufacturing krni h

จะลืมไปได้อยู่
At one time there were only about 2 main shock absorber manufacuers Monroe or gabrial

Nice video
@horst696 Then what are good shock absorbers ? It's about time to get mines changed and don't know which ones are good.
That was cool to watch.
This comment put a real damper on my day.
Eight years and only one like on this comment? Severely under rated
I make these for a,living
So in all what are the good shocks?
It was shocking how I just learned this today after all these years..
Ba dum tssss
WOW! This is SHOCKING!
I was totally absorbed watching it.
How they made the machines to do this?
As soon as I seen an actual worker being part of the manufacturing process whereby allowed to earn a pay for him and his family, I knew this had to be at least 10-15 years old

Fluffy65 Bilstien is best bang for your buck.
just got 2 the other day and they are so different im returning them.

should i get garbriel guardian shocks from autozone
Most English-speaking places calls 'em dampers. Shocks is the US short term.
Use Monroe reflex great warranty too
They're Aussie made FTW :)
HDXFH actually these are made in paragould arkansas
What's the difference between shocks and struts?
Strut holds the shock and spring in one unit.you can remove spring and replace shock on some cars. others you buy a whole new strut and reuse your spring. Most front wheel drive cars have struts.
Finally. A original comment.
The schleem is then repurposed for later batches.
240p, we meet again!
Did anyone else find this assembly process shocking ?

I use KY Jelly shocks. They are very bouncy and slippery!
Hahaha!you ain't right upstairs. Your elevator doesn't quite go all the way up does it.I often hear the same thing.
u can make them go woowoo!
@counkev Koni are the best for the money IMO.
awesome!
how the fuck did i end up here
Well, when a daddy Godwin and a Mommy Godwin love each other veeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrry much they kiss really, really hard and 9 months later a little Dexter falls out the mommy. The end.
Wow!
just because they own OEM, it doesn't make it the same product.
Monroe is GOOD but Koni is BETTER
Shocking!
the rubber bushings in ever set of gabriels ive bought have rotted away in a year. went with monroe this time. been 28 months now. gabriels are garbage
K
@Dieselolds They save on the quality to get them cheaper.
Cofap is the best.
I work for Cofap and this video isn't the way we make shocks, a lot less robots and more employees involved in the process and there isn't any conveyor belt. Closes thing to a conveyor belt is when they are going through the paint booth.
why does he say reserve ?

This is fundamentally wrong. This part is a damper. The shock absorber is the spring.
MrMAG cant believe that comments lasted 6 years without anyone calling you a moron.

That must be a US thing. In my landrover parts manual they are referred to as shock absorbers.
As Peter Crenshaw, from the Three Investigators, would say:” I’ll buy a double helping of that”
Monroe shocks suck i put new ones on my jeep and didnt work as good as the gabriels a put on last week
alex chacon monroes are absolute shit, sell both them and Gabriel for classic cars.
Would recommend Gabriel every time.

why?
In our channel we have a video of how shock absrorber shafts (piston rods) are made.
Wha!!??? No stupid pun at the end? I can't believe it. LOLOLOLOL!!!
yeah that's shocking isn't it?
oooops there's you're pun lol
no but im betting the same standards

haha i see what you did there
240p ... we meet again!
the quality of this vid should be considered eye rape i feel violated
waw, complex
@efzt bilstien and fox shocks
eibach btw
JamesBlitz made by Gabriel
these shocks look cheap must be GM o
Koni
@mermuff16 Just when I thought I had it bad
the music is awful
owwhh
monroe shock absorbers are the worst on the planet!!!
