Shocks and Struts replacment update

[Jim_NH]

I am late in updating this thread about my experience replacing shocks and struts on my 2003 pilot:

I did this at about 95K miles. I went with Monroe Sensatrak light truck and SUV shocks and struts.

One of the rear shocks was an out of box failure. Immediately replaced.

The car now rides way stiff - too many little bumps and bounces get telegraphed to the passengers and it is teeth jarring on long rides.

If you get the Monroes - don't get the stiffer version, even though the Pilot certainly qualifies as a light truck or SUV.

I might decide next time to go with the KYB's - I am having buyers remorse.

I am going to go back to the installer and see if there is anything they can do (can Monroes be adjusted once installed?).

If there is a reservoir for those (which I doubt) then yes they can be adjusted, but Monroes are non-adjustable.
