Reviews of Monroe parts For Business

I just got them for my Buick. I would say that they function just as well as stock and the car rides great. They are a TAD rougher than OE, if I turn the radio off they make a bit of strut noise over bumps.

If you decide to go with the Routan SE you could change out the rear shocks for Monroe Sensa Trac. They are load adjusting and will support the extra weight of towing. They were very easy to install on our SUV, provide better handling and the vehicle stays level with over 500 pounds loaded in the back.

My shop puts quickstruts in all the time. No complaints yet.

I'm a fan of quick struts, especially for the DIYer. I can't count the number of people I've seen buy brand new struts and ignore the shitty bearing plates, insulators, ultra-rusty springs, etc. They are also very easy, and that placates my laziness nicely. As far as the spring being sold compressed vs. non-compressed, I agree with TrouserPudding completely. An automotive coil spring spends the vast majority of it's life installed in a strut, and it's compressed the entire time. Makes no difference as I see it.

Quick Struts are fan freaking tastic.

Pep Boys made good on their previous hack. This is a prime example of why it is SO important to say you need parts for a 1998 MKIII when you have a 1999 MKIII made the first half of the conversion year.

Monroe is not a bad thing. Saleen used the Formula GP's until they started producing thier own. I have them on my Camaro, among other things, and it pulls .88 G's on the skidpad.

My '04 VW Golf R32 came with Monroe shocks on the rear as OEM. They were 'floaty' feeling after less than 10k miles. I put a total of 25k on them before I just couldn't stand it anymore.

When I had my 337 GTI, the Monroe shocks it came with DRASTICALLY changed in performance by the 20k mile mark.. The suspension was MUCH bouncier and less tight as when I first got the car. The was car driven very spirited.
