Customer Rating: Summary: Simple Installation -- Great Price! Comment: I ordered a pair of these Quick Struts on a Thursday and they arrived via FedEx on Tuesday morning and they were installed by 1pm. I got them for $310 total thanks to the free shipping for trying the Amazon Prime service. For my application (2000 Pontiac Grand Prix), installation was a breeze. Jacked up the car, removed one tire, 3 nuts to remove from top end and 2 on bottom end and then put them back in and replaced tire. After locating the right tools for the first side, the other side took 1/4 of the time to do it. Thankfully I had my father in law's shop at the farm with the impact wrench (and all the other tools) at my disposal...trying to loosen the bolts on the lower end after 211,000 miles wouldn't have been much fun without power tools!
Total tools I needed = Jack, impact wrench with 3/4" socket for lugnuts (yours may vary) and 13/16 deep socket for lower end bolts, a ratchet with 15mm socket for top end nuts, a hammer and a punch (to line up holes down below). All in all, well worth it to put the complete assembly in at once -- even better when you can do it yourself!
Now I just need to decide whether or not to order the struts for the rear end... Customer Rating: Summary: monroe 171661 quick strut Comment: I .was very impressed by the ease and the speed of ordering and receiving the product. I also saved by having it shipped free. Thank you Amazon.com Customer Rating: Summary: 1998 Pontiac Trans Sport Montana w/ auto level rear Comment: Looked everywhere, including the Monroe website and their customer service nunmber. The customer service rep. gave me the only part number he could find and actually said "good luck buddy". I could not find these anywhere but on Amazon. I could get all the parts and put them together myself.....for about $480.00 each but got both of them, shipped for free, for less than that.
The shipping estimator said these wouldn't ship for over a week after i ordered them but i got them two days before they were supposed to be sent out.
No problems with install and they are absolutely brand new in the box. Customer Rating: Summary: Monroe Quick Strut Comment: The Monroe Quick Strut is a fast, easy way to restore a "new car ride" to a high mileage vehicle. It replaces the coilsprings, struts and all associated hardware to tighten the ride up and restore ride height.
