Probably exactly why most people here recommend either KYB or Bilstein. I think Rancho and one other Japanese origin brand name has been mentioned too, but I havent seen one person here ever recommend Monroe.

Bought Bilsteins myself, just waiting for a good weekend to install them in the next month or so. Nice boots. Look almost too nice to install!

If you have a receipt, I'd return the Monroe's.

Just my .02, which nowadays with price of metals is actually worth .05!
