Based on my experience with Monroes on another vehicle I suspected their inexpensive shocks and struts for the 9-5 would be short lived. I always used Sachs brand shocks on my 2000 as they are OEM and would last around 100K miles before exhibiting signs of end of life. Sachs front struts seem to last forever, ~200K miles or more, but I know that is misleading and they must wear out quicker than that.
