BAD EXPERIENCE WITH MONROE SHOCKS

Due to previous experience I decided to replace my front shocks with Monroe OE spectrum when I experienced trouble . due to a leak. I had them replaced on my Chevy Aveo LT and afterwards decided to replace the rear shocks also with Monroe as a set for the car. I discovered that the front Shocks are ordinary OE and NOT the spectrum I ordered. Monroe ordered a set from America as this type are not available in South Africa. Due to the lock down it is still not available but on order. I then decided to make a good job and had all 4 tyres replaced with Firestone Journey tyres. This I did in March 2020 just before the lock down On my way home I was disgusted with the comfort of my vehicle and found that she is hard to control and rides very bumpy. After 3 000 km I contacted Firestone during Level 2 and made an appointment with the rep. After careful inspection of tyres the rep replaced two tyres which showed unusual wear after this period.Even after deflating tyres to 1,8Bar the car just kept on riding bumpy which made me decide to contact Monroe. Monroe advised me that the shocks are in the PE Harbour and will be available one or another time. Firestone advised me that the shocks of the car is extremely hard which is the cause of the bumpy ride. Over the past weekend I just had enough of this bumpy ride and replaced the rear Monroe shocks with the old KYB shocks and what a difference on the riding comfort of my vehicle As soon as possible I am going to replace the front shocks also with KYB when available\ PLEASE do NOT support Monroe with their so called Original Equipment Shocks as they are definitely NOT up to standard for south African roads, give a very bumpy ride and not comfortable at all. This I can prove with the KYB shocks I installed and cancellation of the OE spectrum Monroe shocks I have never been so disgusted with shocks in all my life and will not support Monroe any more
