ever tried the cheap Autozone shockes?

My shocks are beyond bad. with every bump the whole car lurches to the left. I am flat busted due to my Explorer arguing with me last week. So I was thinking of installing a set of those Gabreal (sp) shocks from Autozone. They are only $30 for the rear. I didn't look up the front yet.
So anyway, what do you think. is it worth the trouble? or should I wait a couple of months and not drive her?

My father had Gabriel shocks/struts on his FC for a while. Seemed to work OK for normal driving conditions.

How do you like your shocks 95celgt?
I have done some math and think maybe I should just save another $70. the Tokico HO shocks on ebay are less than 70 bucks more after I figured in local taxes on the Autozone shocks.
But the AGX GR-2 shocks are a little more than the HPs. Which are better to pair up with Suspesion Technics springs?
I am also installing poly bushings when I do this. I have had the bushings and the springs sitting in the closet crying for me for months.
