Monroe 37083 OESpectrum Truck Shock Absorber

I bought these (plus the rears, item #37027) to replace the old shocks on my 99 XJ. These are a perfect fit and bring the suspension back to OE specs. Super easy do-it-yourself project with great results.Some key tips on the Jeeps:- Spray all the bolts holding your shocks with PB Blaster to loosen up any potentially stuck/rusted bolts. Do this a day ahead of time to let them soak, then again before you get started unbolting.- Be EXTRA careful with the upper rear shock mounting bolts. People have tried loosening these and snapped the bolt head clean off. If that happens, it's a big problem. You will need to drill/tap for a new bolt hole, get some welding done, or even get up into the trunk to remove the carpeting and do some floor cutting with a grinder and cutting wheel. Don't be that guy! Loosen slowly yet firmly, tighten a bit, loosen a bit, tighten a bit, add more PB Blaster if needed and they should come out. When re-installing, use some anti-seize on the bolts and do not over-tighten.- The rears do not come pre-compressed. Get the top partially bolted in, then compress that shock with your best bench press and slide it onto the lower post.- The front driver side upper bolts are blocked by the brake booster/lines and the air box. Unclamp the top of the air box, move it aside, remove the air filter, then unbolt the bottom half of the air box and remove. This will allow you to gain access to the upper shock bolt.- I recommend greasing the rubber attachment points (bottom of rear shocks and top of front shocks) with some moly grease when installing. Won't hurt anything and should keep any squeaks from starting.- Remember to keep the plastic compressor on the front shocks. Get them bolted in, then cut that plastic piece to let the shock go to ride height. Seems like a no-brainer, but I imagine you'll have a much harder time if you don't think ahead and cut that first.

I had a problem with fishtailing on my Jeep XJ, as well as uneven tire wear.The insidious thing about bad shocks is that the ride actually IMPROVES as your shock absorbers deteriorate. You don't know they're bad until some bad situation which you desperately need them (such as an emergency stop/maneuver), but they are not there. Replace them every 50,000 miles, folks!These shocks are great for the price. They will return your car to OEM spec, nothing more, nothing less. I noticed that my Jeep handles alot better now, especially when making sudden turns or going over washboard roads. Installation was super simple and I didn't even need a jack.

1998 Jeep Cherokee XJ 4.0 - Replaced my 13-year old shocks with these Monroe OE Spectrum and what a difference it made! Ride is slightly firm but very cushioned. Should've changed them a long time ago.

I think they are great shocks and they are riding real nice, the only problem is that they only sent me one pack of hardware with the two shocks so I'm using old bushings and bolts, I can't figure out how to get a hold of the seller so I'm just posting this problem in my review in hopes that they send me out a pack of hardware. Other than that, great shocks that came in great time.

Well made Just like OEM
