    5.0 out of 5 stars Exact Replacement for Model 729202 Shock
    Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Not sure if they will work as designed because I have not installed them yet, however they are an exact replacement for the USA made Model 729202 shocks found on my 1989 Bushtec trailer. I will update this post upon reassembly of my trailer after the paint job has been completed.

    9/23/2013 Decided to connect and air up the new shocks to just make sure they work properly. Bad news, BOTH of the shocks had damage to the air hose connector, and leaked big time! I attempted to straighten one of the connector flanges on one of the shocks, which reduced the air leak, but not to the degree required. Need to return the shocks and 1) Get undamaged replacements, or 2) Get refund and locate a local source for the shocks so I can inspect them prior to purchase.

    3.0 out of 5 stars quality control issue?
    Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Leaving a 3 star review because I couldn't actually use them. Here's my thoughts. Purchased to replace the Monroe air shocks I had on my Dyna that cracked a weld and leaked. Changing out the top bushing was easier than the monroes because it was an actual tube sleeve not rolled strap like the monroes. The monroes weren't perfectly round and I had to grind them to get the bushings in. Finish wise they were pretty decent, I would have ran them had they not had some odd red scuffs on them, this threw me off but he box was all sealed up nice so I figured what the hell. I sandblasted and painted them and they looked great. Mounted one up and tried airing it up. Not paying attention to the gauge on the bike it went over 160 psi before the shock would move. This damaged the air gauge, not happy. Shock was blown out right out of the box. Another thing to note is line routing. These come out parallel to the shock whereas monroes were perpendicular. No big deal except these are not left and right specific like the monroes. This leads to long shock routings. No big deal if you have a bagger but on my Dyna the shocks tee together right in front of the rear wheel. The monroes look a lot cleaner when installed. I'm not sure if these were bad from the factory or some scumbag bought shocks and returned blown out ones. That's why I'm giving it 3 stars. I went back to the monroes even though they don't have a warranty they worked well and fit better. At least they worked out of the box.

    First order arrived in a box soaked with oil. Open box and found shocks had leaked in the box. Returned them and reorder them again.
    Second order arrived and installed them on my car. Found these didn't hold air and deflated as soon as I disconnected the air hose. Went around with spray bottle with soap and water and discovered one shock leaking air from piston seal. Removed shocks and returned them, I then ordered Monroe Air Shocks and so far they are working as expected.
