Thunk in rear

[WeeYari]

On August 6th, I had replaced rear shocks with a set of Munroe OE Spectrum.

One of them went bad. Took them out and compressed them. Dead one had close to zero rebound. It wasn't wet so I don't know exactly what was wrong with it.

Anyhow, time to go and reinstall everything that had been removed and move on to the next adventure.

Anything Monroe that I have ever installed was better suited for the trash bin. Complete waste of time putting that garbage in. Ford Focus with 178'000 km in 8 years on original rear dampers (made in Japan by Tokico) had stronger damping and rebound than Monroe Spectrum that were brand new right out of the box.

Just wondering, how many miles were on your car when you decided the originals needed replaced? ...and no you don't need to refer me to a past thread on that subject...
