When it came time to change them again, I decided to try something different. I wrote reviews for all the Gabriel shocks that fit my Saturn Vue so that others could have some info when making a purchase. Below is my experience with trying a different brand.2022I had changed my shocks and struts with Monroe Reflex about six months ago. After the install, I thought something was wrong because the car was bottoming out and was bouncy. Shocks and struts are supposed to prevent bouncing. The Monroes were supposed to be an upgrade (with “Reflex” technology) but they turned out to be horrible! I couldn’t believe how bad they were for my Saturn Vue. After stewing for six months on how I spent money on this garbage, I decided to replace the shocks and struts again. I went back to the Gabriel Ultras I bought before, and man what a difference. The car handles bumps and dips like it is supposed to, it’s like new again!Don’t let the lower price of the Gabriels fool you. Compared to other makes they are quality shocks at a great price, worth every penny. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great improvement in the ride. *by D***N on October 13, 2015* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ G56899 Best Comfort for Golf/GTI period. *by M***E on May 22, 2025* I have factory sport suspension option on my MK6 Golf 55mm strut. It was very comfortable paired with the Gabriel rear shocks. Well dampened and the variable dampening does work as advertise. Pretty much luxury car level smooth. The only complaint is longevity of the strut. Rear shocks are still going strong but the strut has lost rebound and compression control both on high and low speed movements. Freeway impact overwhelms, bottoms out and wallows a bit. Got maybe 40k miles out of these. First 37k miles were much better ride than Sachs OEM but last half the miles and $20 more per strut than OEM. It was tough switching back to Sachs but I do 20k miles a year. I can’t justify 2 struts every 18mo. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/521450680-gabriel-g51849-ultra-rear-strut-for-05-07-ford-five](https://www.desertcart.us/products/521450680-gabriel-g51849-ultra-rear-strut-for-05-07-ford-five) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
