Hi there. I'm looking forward to revise a front suspension on a 2002 DC 2.4
Recently I came along with Moog ST8561(L/R) strut assemblies. Is there any of you, who tryed them? I'm curious of two thing: how are they performing (especially at 20-30 Celsium degrees below zero) and the exact origin of damper strut itself? Is it Kayaba, Boge, Bilstein or some Chinese noname Zhao-Tsung-Pao? At best I'd like to know the part number of damper strut itself.

 

Although I've had no experience of them myself I have seen them around for a while now and opinion seems to vary considerably. Some people say they are okay others say no!

Although not sure how true it is but I have heard that they are probably reliable'd Monroes.

 

Well, I asked people on Форумы Крайслер Клуба (Chrysler Club Russia)
Reaction is quite coherent and negative. Not a single positive reply.

 

Yeah I just asked a couple of the Jeeps guys if they had any thoughts on them and they were like, 'go to the junk yard and by a set of a scrapped van, they'll cost less and probably last longer', so there's no need to read between the lines there.
