rockauto

i jus had what u may call a bad experience with rockauto ive orderd from there before but this was a weird mixup. so im sure people here have the notices of when parts for our cars go on clearence so i looked bam name brand gabriel shocks orderd and was happy until i opend the boxes one says mexico and is red and other is made in usa and is black i was ok with painting one but then i compressed both and the usa extends the mexico one stayed compressed never held new shocks so i dont know what ones bad but both do not react the same.


what do u look for in shocks?
was thinking of putting oil on the seal on the mexico one and see if that helps the usa one is oily looking at the seal and mexico one is dry thought maybe thats whats making it not extend?

anyways calledem and they said they cant tell what color it is and they said the price is so low i can keep the third. geuss as long as it works i may be painting
