Bought a pair of rears for a Saturn and it says, Made in the USA on the box. I'm assuming some of their products are made elsewhere, but surprised to see these were made here.
Probably old stock. I think their products may still be made in Mexico.Bought a pair of rears for a Saturn and it says, Made in the USA on the box. I'm assuming some of their products are made elsewhere, but surprised to see these were made here.
Monroe also has a plant in Argentina as well. I recall installing a set of Sensa-Trac shocks on a Nissan Quest, one pair was American, the other was Argentine.Monroe's website will tell you they make the majority of their shocks and struts in the USA in Paragould, AR.
Just because other plants closed don't make the assumption that all production moved out of the US...
Similar story here. I keep hearing about Monroe being junk, but I’ve had good experiences with them.I have Monroe all the way around on my 07 Ram. Big improvement in the ride. Have Sensa-Trac on rear of my wife's Mazda 5. Helped it to ride much better. I would rather have Bilstein but they just cost too much.
The ones on the Quest didn’t leak prematurely, but IMO Monroes ride “soft”.Similar story here. I keep hearing about Monroe being junk, but I’ve had good experiences with them.
I used to work for Tenneco and they owned Monroe. I had to deal with people in those US locations and they complained about their business going to Mexico. All of the Ford and GM truck shocks went to Mexico. They have way more quality problems from Mexico. They decided to shut my plant down and wanted me to move to TN which I did not want to do at this time. Tenneco is no longer publicly traded and is now private. Not sure how this will affect everything but they had lost most of the truck exhaust business to a new competitor.Monroe's website will tell you they make the majority of their shocks and struts in the USA in Paragould, AR.

Those Bilsteins are made in Cincinnati, OH2014 I bought US made Sensa-Tracs for my Trailblazer. I thought how good that would be, not off shore sourced commi garbage..... I was wrong. 60,000km and they were beyond shot.
About 40$ more total i had Bilstein's 4600s shipped in from rock. Years later and just at 60k now. Solid.
Thanks for the update, nice to know the Bilsteins are not outsourced.
