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.
