Shock absorbers Monroe or OEM Toyota

ended up needing to replace all four shocks (rears are DIY friendly - did it myself). Now that the shocks are all new it rides like a dream.

So I replaced the shocks and top mounts, which fixed it and it's smooth now.

Ive put dozens of monroe shocks on Prius from rock auto, no complaints

My mother drove her 2010 Corolla for 11 years and 320,000 km with no breakdowns and only (frankly spotty and frequently late) basic maintenance before passing it off to my brother, who still drives it every day it with 350k kms (edit: 220k miles). The shocks probably need replacement at some point in the nearer term but those are wear items and the car spent most of its life on terrible Saskatchewan roads, so I can’t really blame it for that.

2008 LC Prado - 185k mileage. Regular PMS only. front lower arms, and tire rods were change for the first time last year since it was new, rides like brand new again. Shocks were already replaced with OME.

I got the same thing off of eBay for $900 low fronts (30mm), super low rear (40-50mm) sits level and i didn't notice a difference in ride stiffness with the Monroe's

For stock, I've heard decent things about Monroe shocks.

My experience with Monroe shocks over the last 42 years of working on cars. Monroe might have a lifetime warranty like the KYB has, accept even though the replacement is free, you still have the hassle of replacing the Monroe shocks every 2 to 3 years.

I put Monroe's on mine a while ago and I hate them

In my experience ever since Tenneco bought Monroe they have been trash. Back when I worked for Subaru the OE and KYB replacements regularly made it 100K, Monroe’s would give up in 40-50k.
