Is there a way of identifying the type/brand/flavour of shock absorbers on your car if you didn’t fit them yourself? Is it printed somewhere? All I can see is “Monroe” and “made in Australia”. A couple of pics below if they help.
Thanks

They look old enough to replace. Rear shocks are so cheap and easy.

They would be original, might be something written on that sticker higher up.
Get some decent ones.

Type - Oil Filled
Brand - Monroe
Flavour - Probably dirt and road grime flavoured but buggered if i know why you'd want to taste them.
