Front Shocks

[mcm51]

Just replaced my O.E. front shocks on my '95 LX with 139K on it. I could'nt come up with Ford Service or Motorcraft shocks, I guess those are all long gone. My research into this matter showed that Monroe made our O.E.M. shocks, and if you can find a pair of those, they are over $100. each. So I did the next best I could from Monroe, they have a Roadmatic for our cars at near half price at rock(from what I could tell on my shock research, I don't know if Monroe even makes the Roadmatic anymore). But long story short, they were very easy to put on and I can certainly tell a difference in a lot of ways. In short, it feels like I took 30k off my Bird on the ride part..........

**UPDATE** After over 7 months and approx. 2000 miles, those new Monroe coil over shocks feel nice, a noticeable difference all the way around driving. The biggest difference that I still notice even today, is when I'm stopped and have to gouge on the throttle somewhat quickly to shot a gap, the front end don't come up 2 or 3 inches no more. Now you'd probably have to go all the way down on it just to get it to come up an inch. I should have put the new coil overs on 40k ago.............
