Rear Shocks???
My 2009 E-250 (120K, 5.4L) has started banging harshly in the right rear when hitting a pothole. I don't see any spring damage. I'm thinking it needs shocks. The shocks on there look like the originals.
Anyone have ideas about anything else to check?
It's a work truck that carries a lot of tools so I'm looking at Monroe Gas-Magnums since RockAuto lists them in the "Heavy-Duty" category.
Any suggestions for a different shock?
Other tips or thoughts?
Thanks!

Bilstein are probably best but pricey. Worth it IMO if you plan on keeping the van. Last set of Monroe "heavy duty" I put on front of E150 were dead in a year. RA warrantied them but I replaced with Bilstein. What I should have gone with to begin with.

I put KYB Gas-A-Just on my '93 conversion and they seemed to work well. After 7 years and 40k though, they are ready to be replaced.
They do sell a heavier duty MonoMax version and I will probably go with those this time.
