OK, so maybe you didn't purchase your Jeep to compete in a SCORE off-road race...maybe you simply use your Jeep to safely get you back and forth to work, worry-free, with weekend trips to your favorite fishing hole. There are no unwritten rules that say your Jeep HAS to ride like a tank; and maybe off-road shocks aren't for you. At the same time, you don't want to get stuck with lousy OEM or "car" shocks, either. Read on to find out how Monroe Automotive may have shocks that are perfectly suited to your situation.
Monroe offers advanced SensaTrac shock absorbers that can help tame your ride, while at the same time providing a safe and stable driving environment, on and off the road. Utilizing their patented auto-valving system, Monroe's innovative SensaTrac shocks are constantly detecting and adjusting to the road as you drive, automatically.
The Monroe® Sensa-Trac® passenger car shock absorber with PSD (position sensitive damping) and the Safe Tech™ system combines our exclusive precision tapered grooves in the pressure tube with application engineered valving and Fluon banded piston to improve the ride, handling, and safety characteristics of the vehicle. |
To be honest, we weren't quite sure what to expect when we installed a
set of SensaTrac shocks onto our 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee project, but the results have been nothing short of amazing. Our ZJ finally acts like it has graduated at the top of its class from obedience school. Gone is the infamous "covered wagon" feel, and there is now only one bounce per bump. Even my mood while driving this Jeep has greatly improved, due in part to a much more positive and solid-feeling ride.
Off road handling is also much better; the Jeep has increased traction and minimal wheel-hop. Driving on wash-board roads no longer requires a trip to the dentist or chiropractor afterward.
Overall, we are extremely impressed with our Monroe SensaTrac shock absorbers, and can highly recommend them to all but the most extreme Jeepers...for them the Rancho RS9000-X is probably a better choice. Click here for more information.
