excellent replacement for weak oem struts and springs
By FWA Brookfield, WI
Excellent product at a very good price. Decided to be proactive and replace the struts/springs on my Sable after unexpected coil spring failure on my wifes Sable which resulted in tire puncture, not to mention over $800 repair bill. If you own a Sable or Taurus and have not replace your struts, you will. Plan the purchase and replacement and you will be far better off. not to mention the original ride height of my car has been restored.

Taurus Struts
By W. Metzger
This is the way to buy struts as a complete unit. You don't have to worry about a spring compressor and if your springs are broken, which seems to be typical for older Taurus's,it solves the problem by having it complete just unbolt the old and bolt in the new. A word of advice buy the bolt kit too and use a good rust buster and let it soak. I would recommend these to anyone replacing the old strut, and buying them complete solves the unexpected suprise of having to replace other pieces if you buy the strut alone.

Best value on the market
By Plain Servant
Ford blew it with the Taurus. Their struts do not hold up and their springs are life threatening. Many have broken and flipped the cars causing serious injuries. I can not believe the government did not make Ford pay for the replacement of these defective parts. My 2006 Taurus was bottoming out in every curve with only 20,000 miles on it. There are three, or four replacement systems on the market, but the others give a harder ride and cost a little more. I have relatives that work for Monroe and they have always bragged about Monroe's quality, so I gave them a try. I have never replaced struts before and I am in my late 60's, so it took about four hours for the job. The instructions were easy to follow. Don't forget to buy the $6.00 strut kit, which is just two new bolts. They should come with the struts, but they don't. This kit saved me $400.00 and the car rides better then it did when it was new. It will take the car a few days to level out, then take it in for a lineament. That cost $80.00 for the Taurus because Ford used rivets instead of bolts and the shop has to drill the rivets out in order to line up the wheels. This product is by far the best and safest way to replace Ford's defective struts and springs.
