Shock absorbers GABRIEL or OEM Toyota

My 2008 RWD Petrol SR5 has 365XXX on it. All it's had replaced is the shockers.

I put in the Gabriel’s at 151k and have taken my 02 into nasty desert. They’ve held up great. For the last 40k

I put Gabriel shocks and struts on mine.

Hi All, just crowdsourcing for good shock absorbers for Toyota Rush.

the rear shocks i just replaced were about 50 bucks

Shocks provide a firm, stable ride

Easy to install and adapt to vehicle

Significantly improves ride quality

If you decide to go this route, Gabriel Ultra shocks and struts from Rockauto.com are good. Avoid Monroe and the cheaper brands. KYB are OEM, but the aftermarket ones are stiffer than the OEM, but are excellent quality.

For years I used Gabriel brand shocks on my pickup trucks. Couldn’t tell the difference between them and Monroe shocks.

Gabriel and Monroe shocks are super trash. You’ll be lucky if they last two years typically.

Took a Limited double cab for a test drive yesterday (just a base Limited—no TRD). I’m glad I did because after that drive it eliminated any thought of getting one so that’s another off the list. I couldn’t get back to the dealership fast enough—it was so severely under-shocked that I was almost puking by the time I got it back. I can’t believe they would ever let a truck go for sale with that kind of rebounding, and I’m talking normal city streets—you’d be off the road in five minutes on a washboard gravel road. Maybe the off-road would be better with the Bilstein shocks, but holy cow this was bad. Interior was cheap plastic everywhere, hated the big drive-in theatre screen. The only thing I liked was the seat adjustment. Popped the hood—what a joke the hood latch is...who the hell designed this stuff? I could have folded that long tin lever with my pinky! Engine performance was OK, laggy and the transmission programming needs work. Anyway...if you’re considering one definitely wait a year until they get things sorted but wow...I was shocked...literally...
