csutke Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Just saw these on rock autos website and have never seen them before. I'm needing to change out my suspension components and these would be a great time saver. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=4256325&cc=1212051 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Sorry, I've not seen these units before but if I recall, Gabriel is a midline brand and not mixed, rebuilt crap. Anyone else know this brand better? I'll be curious as well, I hate dealing with struts... B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swanicyouth Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Gabriel is not good. They are soft an bouncy. I used to install them and they were always mush. I've looked at those as well - but I'm going with KYB. When I was wrenching, we used to call KYB "Kick Your But" - because the pistons are so hard to push in. The Gabriel's are like they are damped with mashed potatoes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushnut Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 they would be Ok if you were installing them on a doge neon, but not on an Off Road truck. My KYBs have been good but when they are dead I'll be replacing them with Old Man Emu as they are damped to deal with a lifted truck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
