I posted this request last week, but perhaps I worded it too trol-like
I'm interested in opinion about what people have found for shocks for the Tacoma.
When I bought the truck in 2000, it still had the original shocks. It was obvious they weren't doing the job because the truck would skip sideways in turns if there were bumps.
I asked the question here and got several answers, none of which I can remember now except that Monroes were among the suggestions. They were reasonably priced so I bought them and installed them.
I immediately noticed an improvement, but I also belatedly came to realise that the tire itself was causing a lot of the jouncing and vibration. There may be nothing I can do about that aside from getting bigger rims and low profile tires to cut down on the size of the sidewall. That won't happen, the truck is for work, not show.
But now the Monroes are shot and I'm experiencing a lot of uncontroled wheel hop again. Time for new shocks once more.
Are Bilsteins a possibility? Do they last longer?
Thanks, Corky Scott
