Installed this pair of front shocks (as well as the correct Bilstein 24-014137 rear shocks) on my 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada, built in Sept., 1997, which now has 136,000 miles on it. Bilstein shocks were original equipment on this vehicle. When the time came to replace those, I did switch to twin tube quality brand shocks, but the ride was never comparable. These new Bilstein shocks actually provide an even better ride for daily use than the originals. Bilstein's monotube technology is clearly exceptional!!
