Reviews of Monroe strut assembly

Put those on a 2010 legacy and am not happy with the ride quality and they made noise. Went to kyb. Nothing like throwing money away.

I just bought Monroe "heavy duty" struts for my Crown Victoria. The shocks are way too soft compared to oem, and they're leaking at only a year and a bit of age. Less than 15,000km on them. They also don't seem to have the same amount of travel compared to the oem, and I feel them slamming into the max extension bump stops. Done that since new.

I would go with Monroe. KYB is not what it was a decade ago.

The Monroe and kyb are both good products. I've had failures with both brands but it's not very often. The main difference I've personally noticed, is the Monroe quick struts trend to ride a bit stiff.

My 2005 got monroe quick struts at all four corners two months ago. Just drove it 10 hours to Asheville NC and back, while full of chainsaws and tree climbing gear.

Drives great while winding theough mountain hairpins and rolling down insterstate at 80mph.

I put Monroe quick struts on my Mazda 3 about a year ago.   The rubber boots have disintegrated and they're rusting already.

the Monroe ones have been fine and I have well over 100k on them

Also Monroe easy struts are shit. I regret installing them. My brand new ones make creaking noises, have lower ride height, and bottom out on big bumps.

I had my mechanic install Monroe struts on my 2013 CR-V before I sold it and purchased my 2021 Avalon. Monroe struts noticeably improved the ride of my CR-V and I highly recommend them.

Monroe are okay but expect them to last maybe 50k miles, not 100k. Monroe is as close to OEM ride as you will get in aftermarket.
