Strut assembly KYB or Monroe

I would get kyb struts and reuse the springs.

I installed new rear kyb SR4484 coil/struth assembly on my 2010 forester. The forester feels so much better, no noise or clunking.

I used them on my ep81 starlet. Theyre fine. Think of them like oem struts, if not higher quality.

KYB is the bee’s knees for Lexus. It’s OEM and will get it as close to new as you can get.

the KYB struts are just as good as OEM.

I put those on a 2011. They are slightly stiff but super easy to drop in both front and rear. Really great on the highway but a little harder than I would like on local streets with pot holes.

I have the Monroe struts on my 06 in all 4 corners and they do feel a bit soft for the spring rate, but they have a lifetime warranty.

I had them on my 07 Acura TL for about a year and had to replace them.

Same Monroe box you get at Napa for these. FWIW these are trash. Ride quality will be different and they won’t last very long.

Bought new struts from kyb, one was really stuff and looked new the other one was not as stiff and had a lot of dust on it meaning it could have been sitting for a while, is possible the less stuff one is damaged and I have to return it or is it normal for there to be a little bit of variance between the sides. I was pumping them manually as I know you have too and that's when I noticed the difference..
