DRiV Monroe Air Shock Absorber - MA822 - Adjustable Shocks Maintain Ride Height - Heavy-Duty Construction With Lubricated Air Sleeve - Better Road Handling & Easy to Adjust

At 62,000 miles one of the orginial air shocks was leaking. These shocks are a perfect replacement. They are not the shock with embedded electronics, just the self-leveling air shock on the 'base' suspension of a Cadillac. The top is a little larger than the stock shock, but they do not hit anything. The air connector/nipple is an exact fit. I jacked up one side, put a barrel jack under the suspension to 'unload' the shock. The top nut is in the trunk, under the 'carpet', with a rubber cover that pulls off. There are two bolts on the bottom. Very easy to remove and reinstall. The air line unclips. At this price, they are much, much less than stock shock price. The top mount is an elaborate rubber mount, and these do NOT come with a this replacement. But mine seemed in almost perfect shape and did not need replacement. I think this rubber mount can be bought for about $25 (each?) if yours has been deformed. The ride seems about the same as stock. Some comments on a replacement shock say it is much more stiff, but I feel these are about the same as stock.

Great fit & replacement. Much smoother ride. Easy to install. Appear to be very good quality for the price.

I have to say this, before I did the job on this I have never changed shocks before. I've seen people have issues where it will extend and then they can't force it back down or something else randomly happens. Anyways. The shocks come with 2 aftermarket nuts and thicker bolts than oem. The caps that come with them are also a hell of a lot better than factory as well. Grip better, don't bow out as much and it's so easy to get everything in place. These shocks are a DIY dream. The ride quality is amazing with these too. Very smooth. Good response and even compensates for the undulating cloud suspension that Buick's have. Most minor stuff you won't even feel it, you'll hear the tires run it over but that's it. These shocks were a blessing and I can't wait to get a front set as well.

This shocks are a good replacement to oem shocks for a 2000 Cadillac Seville SLS. Albeit, they are not as cushy as stock shocks but for about $64 a pair, it's very hard to beat. Oem shocks are anywhere from 400-1000 each one...that's right, up to 2000.00 for a pair of oem shocks. Of course, prices vary depending upon where you purchase them. Back to the Max-Airs. They hook-up the same as the oem. Fit snug and secure. They are also just as big. You will notice the shocks have a large diameter. The shocks are also black, not white as advertised...sure makes it easier to hide the fact they are not oem. These shocks DO NOT come with the electronic adjustable sensor...hence the price. Still, the provide a solid ride with a reasonable amount of cushion. I quickly noticed that they don't provide a cloud-like feel, but for $64 they're are a great alternative. The shocks do air up and help offset weight in the rear. They handle pretty well over bumps and provide a smooth ride for the most part. You will be able to tell a differece with these shocks in comparison to oem, but again you are saving a ton of money. As for quality, they are monroe...a good brand with solid contstruction. Plus, I think the ones I got offered a life-time warranty. Only time will tell how long they last. Still, have carried light loads and heavy loads the rubber boot inflats perfectly and deflates perfectly. Definitely worth it if you like your car, don't want to part with it, and don't have at least $800 to buy a set of oems. O yeah, almost forgot, installation was pretty easy. Basic tools are needed and it's definitely a one-man, under the tree, driveway type install.

In case anyone else posted this long ago, here are is how I did it. My old shocks were completely blown out. Start to finish takes about an hour. The rear hopping was eliminated finally. One boot was folded up into the shock, but compressing the shock a few times fixed that. Disconnect the air line. Remove the top 2 side nuts first dropping the shock down. Once those are removed, remove the two bolts securing the bottom part of the shock. I didn't compress the springs because I never removed the arm from the subframe to the control arm. I may suggest doing that however. The shock will then come out. Transfer over the top rubber piece to the new shock. Watch how the washers are oriented from the old shock. Also move over the brackets from the bottom of the old shocks to the new shocks. Then, only loosely put the top bolt on so it can swivel making installion easier. The old top nut will not fit. If you lose the new ones, the nuts needed are M10-1.25. Don't ask me how I know that. LOL! They are threaded differently than the stock ones. Put the new shock in place. Use a jack to move the control arm up so the top bolts stick through the holes. Then tighten. Go back under the car. Install the bottom two bolts. Go back up top and then fully tighten the middle nut. Remove jack. Put the rubber cover back on and molded carpet cover back over and then done.

EXCELENTE CALIDAD/PRECIO...

Installed these on my Caddy and they fit perfectly. Been on my car for about 6 months and are great. No issues at all. When they arrived, they looked used but I think the paint job was just poorly done. Other than that they work great. You may need a wheel alignment after installing.

2005年ドゥビル10万キロ。5年6万キロで純正がエアー漏れでACデルコ対策品に交換、乗り心地が固く悪くはないが、今回以前から気になっていた、モンローショックにしようと2度目の交換、届いた品はモンローの刻印無く残念。交換時片側がゴムが固着していて、ラバープロテクト何回も吹き付けやっと取付、その後動作は順調、しかし乗り心地は固い、やっぱり純正品が一番合っていた。残念だけど価格なりか。

Installed on 03 Cadillac Deville. Fit perfect and installed easily. Car rides perfect again. Great price and is exactly as described .
