Monroe Reflex Experience
Hey folks,
last summer I had some Monroe Reflex installed up front on my truck, and they've been great up until about a week ago.
They're not exceptionally tight suspension to begin with so it's taken some gradual time to notice, but I have a seemingly busted shock on the front passenger side.
She's got a pretty hefty bounce to her now; If I bounce on the front fender and let go, it'll keep bouncing for 3 or 4 rocks. If I hit a few of the typical highway rolls, she'll give a good bouncy ride as well, as though I were in a low rider with hydraulics... while it's a fun time, it's potentially dangerous.
I've only driven about 12-15,000km (~7,500 - 9,300miles) on these shocks since last summer, so I suspect this is a little early for them to be dead from normal wear.
I'm not one to drive over crazy terrain, off-roading, etc. She's a 2wd and certainly not meant to be driven that way...
Anyone else have this sort of experience with Reflex shocks?

In the 1970 and 1980's
I used to build Baja Bugs and sand rails for people in the 70’s and 80’s went to many races how fun my specialty was suspension and racing engines I custom built any size engine and did my own custom heads and carburation mods I had all the special tools back then.
But Bilstein and Micky Thompson were the best shocks even for city driving.

Reflex's have a lifetime warranty so if you still have your receipt, they'll replace them for free. If not, I'm not sure if they still replace them or not. I have Reflex shocks on all four corners and they seem fine. The front ones have been on there for two years now with no problems... and I drive on some of the worst roads there are.
