Strut assembly Monroe or Sachs

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.

Just did Monroe quick struts on my Avalon had a blown stock strut didn’t even have to think about which brand to pick.

IMO, Sachs will restore the factory ride characteristics. I always recommend Sachs because they always seem to ride the closest to stock and have had good luck with their replacement parts.

Monroes will be fine.

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.

I have had decent luck with the Monroe ready-struts, they are decent enough for an older car, but they aren't the best things in the world either.

I put Monroe’s on my Outback. After a year the front passenger side went bad.

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

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.
