4.0 out of 5 stars softer than stock, September 25, 2010

Easy replacement, no need for spring compressors, perfect fit. Unfortunately, ride is softer than stock unless that's what you are looking for.

3.0 out of 5 stars More Poor Quality Control, February 5, 2009

This review is from: Monroe 171679 Quick-Strut Complete Strut Assembly (Misc.)

The unit was easy enough to install and make a big difference in ride and handling. However, after about 200 miles or less I began to hear a LOUD rattle from under the hood. I finally figured out the nut on the strut shaft had loosened, a lot. After several calls to Monroe Customer Service I was told to re-torque the nut to 50 ft/lbs. CS said that the nut should not have loosened. The exact same thing happened to a Monroe Quick Strut that I installed on my wife's Camry. Really poor quality control. Shame on you Monroe. These things are not inexpensive either.

4.0 out of 5 stars A bit noisy over bumps, October 1, 2011

I put the quick-strut on a 1997 Camry with no problem other than needing to really torque the lower bolts to keep the shock from moving when going over bumps causing an extra squeak. I have not had them on long enough to say anything about their durability. They are definitely noisier than the stock shocks. I am hoping they quiet down as they break in. The price was great, so I bought American.
