go with the kyb's.not much more expensive than the monroe brand,but much
better.i put the the monroe's on my sho and am sorry i did.nice ride for
about 3,000 miles now they are just as soft as the old one's it replaced.i
have to say they are designed for the regular taurus cars and just so happen
to fit our cars.go KYB.BOB
