History shows that great innovations stand the
test of time. Over the years, Monroe has been committed to product
quality, customer atisfaction and new product technology. This
commitment is a tradition that dates back to the early 1900's when small
improvements were done on a simple tire pump.
What Does Your Odometer Read? Experts recommend the replacement of worn shocks and struts at 50,000 Miles / 80,000 Km*
To help motorists protect their driving safety, ride control engineers
suggest that automotive shocks and struts be replaced at 50,000 Miles /
80,000 Km. In addition, it is always a good idea to ask your automotive
service provider to perform a complete chassis system safety check -
including ride control components - every 12,000 miles.
Ride control components wear out due to everyday driving and a variety of load and road conditions
Shocks and struts may not show any visible signs of wear, but internal components may be past their useful life
Typical shocks and struts "stroke" an average of 1,750 cycles per mile – that's 21 million cycles per 12,000 miles!
Shocks and struts are susceptible to additional wear caused by heavy use and severe road / environmental conditions
Ride control components interact with, and depend on, other key steering and suspension parts
50,000 Mile / 80,000 Km Replacement Recommendation* Help improve vehicle handling characteristics and comfort
A fresh set of shocks can enhance more than just your ride. They help
improve braking and handling under certain driving conditions and they
make vehicles safer and easier to control. This helps make the road
safer for everyone.
Just one 50% degraded shock absorber on your vehicle can increase
stopping distances by up to 10 feet under certain driving conditions.
*At
60 mph. Tests performed on dry, bumpy surface. Actual mileage may vary,
depending upon driver ability, vehicle type, and type of driving and
road conditions.
