    • Fixed my 2003 Buick LeSabre
Style: 49228
This kit came with all the necessary materials and fitment pieces. It was straightforward and easy to install. I like that it provided a manual fill valve which I did install for backup should my oem compressor die out. My shocks had previously been replaced so I already had the screw on connections for airlines but this kit provided enough materials for conversion to screw on connections which I feel are superior. Ride is smooth, and lines hold air well. I've had them installed for about 2 months now and everything still working properly. Greatly improved my ride. Do recommend ... show more

    • Good Value and Price. Works great.
Style: 49228
Arrived quickly and in great shape. Shocks also installed quickly & easily (about the same amount of time as a regular shock). Mine are installed on a 2000 Buick LeSabre with automatic leveling, and appear to be working great for several months so far, with a much needed improvement in the handling and ride. Air-line fitting also installed quickly and air-tight with the car's existing stock airlines (although the kit comes with new air airlines, I used the existing airlines in the car). Kit also comes with several replacement parts for the stock GM on-board air compressor for the auto-leveling system. For the price, I would certainly recommend these over the expensive stock replacements. ... show more

    • Love 'em!
Style: 49228
Installed these on a 2005 LeSabre and they fit perfectly and ride well. The OEM Delco part number that GM gives crosses to these shocks - in fact they're the same as the AC-Delcos selling on Amazon for 25 bucks more a pair. The original plastic air lines on the Buick were the snap-on type with a retainer clip and these Gabriels are threaded but Gabriel supplies a fitting kit that makes it a snap (er, I mean, a twist) to install. There was ample length on my factory airlines to attach to these shocks even with snipping off the 90-degree connector that was OEM. NOTE - do not use a flush or diagonal cutters on the plastic airline. The inside diameter is so small (well under a millimeter) you'll crush it. Use an exacto knife and slice it cleanly. There is an included large spring you're supposed to install in the dryer - however I omitted it and figured I'd see how the car performs first. The compressor comes on for a self-check as it's supposed to and then everything levels out. I see no reason to change the spring. Your mileage may vary of course. As for ride comfort, I see little difference between these new ones and the originals. They're a bit stiffer, ever so slightly, but hey they're new. That's to be expected. I saw reviews of the MA822's and it seemed more people said they were stiffer than not and I wanted to keep that large car ride intact as much as possible. No complaints here. Note that I don't have the stiff suspension option (the F41) so maybe for the firm-ride options the Monroes may not be as stiff since the springs are tighter to begin with. With the FE1 soft-ride these are the way to go. Overall these shocks are super and for a saving of nearly 480 over dealer price (535 to install) you cannot beat this set. ... show more

    • Just right for our needs
Style: 49228
We have an older 2002 Buick LeSabre and it needed shocks, and my mechanic recommended these and AMAZON had a great price on them. The mechanic was able to just swap them right out with no problem.

    • Easy, cheap, fun
Style: 49228
The hardest part of the install is the removal of the old shocks. Once they're off, it goes pretty easy. You'll need to drill a hole near the rear of the vehicle for the schrader valve (where the air goes in), and carefully route the air lines to the shocks. Wire ties keep the lines away from mufflers, springs and the like. Use a new, sharp blade to cut the lines to length. I found that these shocks suited my needs without having to replace the standard coil springs on my ride. I often had various weights of cargo in the trunk and back seat, so these made adjusting the ride height easy. A portable 12 volt air compressor is all that you need to keep the ride height where you want it. Add or release air to adjust. These shocks replace the PINTA system GM used on many passenger cars with the "self-adjusting" compressor system that eventually wears out, leaks, whatever. A cheap fix to an expensive OEM replacement. ... show more

    • very rough ride
Style: 49228
Put these on over a month ago and have gotta say the ride quality just flat out sucks. Doesn't even feel like shocks they are so stiff. I'm wondering if i'd have a softer ride tearing these out and just putting in 2 solid steel bars. I've used these before without a problem but this batch of them is just terrible and rock hard. I've checked the auto level system and it's working fine and the compressor isn't overfilling them either so it's not on my end ... show more

    • Autozone's Finest
Style: 49228
Autozone charges another $5-10 for this same pair of rear shocks. You can get these for even cheaper here on Amazon.com if you do not mind getting them "used-like new". The $60 price is for new shocks, not used. I saw "used-like new" shocks for about $45. Awesome value for high quality shocks. There is one thing to definitely remember. Be certain to set these shocks to the ride level you want them at. If you want a firmer ride for more performance-minded driving, you can do that. If you want a more soft, plush ride you can set these for that as well. I have read some reviews that say they ride too rough or not firm enough either way. That is because you are not setting them to the way you like them. Set them properly and they will ride according to the way that you want them to. Long lasting, customizable, and high quality. ... show more
