Direct replacement, reuse old hardware.Caution: removing the old shock is a PAIN due to it getting rust welded to the stud. Not for the faint of heart.

For the price, they ride well and were a lot cheaper than OEM.

I installed these myself on a CLK430. A little challenging but doable. I had already bought and installed the matching front shocks. They are half the price of many competitors and perform well. The suspension is still compliant and the car handles well. If you have an older Mercedes that needs new shocks and you don't want to break the bank, these fit the bill!

I installed these on my wife's 2008 BMW X3. This job is not for the mechanically inclined faint of heart;it basically requires that the entire back half of the trim be dismantled in order to get access to the three mounting screws. Took be about 2 hours to replace both with video guidance. But, they were a perfect fit. The new Gabriel Ultra shocks left a Noticeable positive difference in the rear suspension. They did not come with replacement mounting screws so retain the originals. I would recommend replacing the bumper dampers as well while you have the whole rear trim broken open and the old shocks off. Retain the mounting gear for re-installation and notice how the concave washers are placed. A local BMW dealership quoted me $1,500 for this job. I did it for under $100 and I got to get my hand dirty behind a ratchet. I saved $1,400 for the family. Daddy is getting a new grill.

Well, what's there to say other than these shocks have returned my Lincoln to the magnificent land yacht it was in its younger days. At first the ride was harsh and I didn't like it, but after about 1000 miles the ride started to smooth out and now after about 3000 miles the ride is as good if not better than factory new.Before I replaced these rear shocks my Town Car would bounce for a while after going over a speed bump or hitting a pot hole in the road. Now, with these shocks installed my old Lincoln doesn't look like its got so much junk in its trunk.UPDATE:I like 'em so much I've now replaced the front shocks with Gabriel Ultras as well. I also replaced both front coil springs and the rear suspension air bags as well as the compressor, air lines and actuator valves. In addition to a few other parts I now have a completely rebuilt suspension on my Town car and I couldn't be happier.

The packaging could have been a little better. 2 struts and 2 shocks in the factory boxes inside a big box. There was some movement and sliding around, but no damage to the parts, just the boxes. The struts went on fairly easy, just took a bit to get the driver side bolts to line up all the way. The old struts and shocks were 9 years old with 85,000 miles on them. When I compared the old to the new, there was a huge difference. When I compressed the old one, they barley extended back to full length and one would not do anything.So far I have out about 50 miles on the new struts and shocks and now it rides like a new car. I no longer have the klunking sound. I've read a good deal on other reviews as far as the longevity and like most other products, there will be a some bad ones. For the price I couldnt beat it. October, I get the rebate on one rear shock + Amazon points and points from another card will cost me $10 out of pocket plus a control arm link that was $15. So if they hold up for 75K miles, I will be very pleased.

Husband was able to install these on my 1998 Volvo S70 T, with no problems, in about 3 hours all 4 wheels (I also got the matching rear shocks done). Avoided the $350 install fee at the local shop because no specialty tools are needed to mount these struts. Had evaluated the 'Volvo spec' brand of suspension products on the specialty websites that we have here in the NW. Just did not want to go the twice the price route to have the cache and prestige of Volvo spec gear on this car, this daily driver that will see its wheels driven off in the course of my job that requires about 100 miles a day. So far, I find no appreciable negative difference in the ride quality (which was the reason I fell in love with this car to start with). Granted, by the time these were replaced, the ride quality was not likely close to what would have been 'factory'. But I notice the upgrade. Husband noted that the original gear that was on the car was definitely worn out at 156K miles, so the money spent was well worth it. If money is no object, and you like the prestige factor, sure, go with Volvo spec. If those two factors don't apply to you, then go ahead with these Gabriels. Super fast shipping via Amazon, too (vs. the 3 weeks it would have taken the local shop to procure them). Noted: I think I posted a review of the STRUTS (front end) here, when it should have been a review of the SHOCKS (rear end)!!LOL but you get the picture!

Gabriel G57040 ReadyMount Complete Strut Assembly (Automotive)I purchased these Rear Shock along with the Gabriel Front Ready Mount Struts listed above. Just pull back the side panel in the trunk without removing it to expose the rear Shock Mount. Do not remove the Shock Mount but remove the large Center Nut on the Shock by using an Offset Close End wrench and a Vise Grip or small Open End wrench to keep the Shock's Shaft from spinning as you remove the Nut. I managed to remove the Bolt under the car without jacking up the car but you may want to do so to gain some room but do not raise it too much and use a Jack Stand for safety. 3/4 to 1.5 Hours depending on your skill level and tools for both sides. The Offset Wrench is a must!!! Google for some Pictorial Tutorials. If you have trouble getting the Shock's Shaft to go into the small hole in the Shock Mount while under the car you may just want to remove the Shock Mount from the top and place it over the Shock's Shaft.The ride is like being on marshmallows but very taunt when you encounter bumps. I would assume other cars may not be as taunt as Volvo's are designed that way. Rides so smooth I am not use to the marshmallow feel yet and the car is much quieter over all even though they are on 5 year old tires in need of replacement. Time will tell how they hold out. ENJOY & BLESSINGS!
