Quick-Strut's the way to go.
By M. Hill
The Monroe QuickStrut system is a great idea! Saves a lot of time and for the money, you can't beat the better quality ride you receive by replacing the springs at the same time you replace the struts. My only beef is the new springs are what I believe are "progessive rate" springs. The ride is "stiffer" and the spring coil is wound tighter at one end, whereas the original springs had equidistant spaces between the winds of coils, (if that makes any sense). Again, though, the ride is better and could take more of a load. Anyway, to buy all the seperate parts, you would end up spending more money! Do yourself a favor and buy a set!

Great replacement strut
By J. T. Noonan
I installed a pair of these on my '92 Dodge Caravan. I'm pretty sure I was replacing the originals. The install was super easy. You might need a breaker bar to loosen the bolts at the bottom of the struts. Be careful putting the new strut in, I ripped a CV joint boot while wrestling the strut into place on the driver side. A piece of cardboard on the axle would have prevented that damage. Ride is much smoother with the new struts. I also ended up replacing the rear shocks and adding helper springs to the rear. Ride has greatly improved. I no longer bottom out.

Monroe Quick-Strut gives new life to my 95 Grand Caravan
By G. Chambers
This strut assembly is complete and fully assembled. The springs are the stronger progressive wound type, not the week constant wound springs that came on the van. My van no longer bottoms out on bumps and dips. It's ride feels much more stable and solid on the freeway. Installing them was easier than I thought. There are 3 nuts on the tower and 2 large bolts on the base. You should also remove the sway bar brackets to allow the strut to drop down enough to pull it out of the tower. The bracket for the brake line was just like the original. The total job took me 2 hours from start to finish. The only down side was "Just Suspension" was slow to ship and the struts arrived outside the delivery window by 2 days.
