I installed Monroe 58427 SensaTrac overload (or "load leveling") shocks on my car.

They provide a nice ride quality and prevent the car from sagging too much with a heavy load.

NOTE: After about 18 months, these shocks were incredibly noisy. I replaced them with conventional shocks, along with stiffer CC667 springs. The new springs, having a variable rate, provides better ride quality than the OE springs combined with these shock absorbers. The load carrying capability of the car is comparable.


The old shocks were well worn; it took about 5 lb of force to compress them! The new ones are incompressible with human arm strength.


The right side shock was difficult to remove. I had to cut it off the axle and the mount.
