Customer Review
Quick and easy, huge improvement in ride
A local shop wanted $900 parts and labor to replace the struts and shocks on my wife's Grand Caravan. I got the same parts (these struts and monroe shocks for the rear) for about 1/3 their price on amazon (local auto parts stores were cheaper than the repair shop but still higher than amazon). Installation was pretty straight forward and took about 2 or 3 hours. Would have been about an hour but I stripped a nut and had to cut and replace a $10 stabilizer arm and grind off the bolt (adding an extra hour or so for a trip to the auto parts store). There was a little bit of a learning curve on the first side I tackled (including stripping that nut on the stabilizer arm) but the second side took me literally 15 minutes to swap out once I had the tire off. Another $70 for a professional alignment and I had in it about half the cost I would have paid a shop to do it (and their quote didn't include alignment). If you have some mechanical skills, a shop manual (or Haynes, Chilton,...

Good product
Installed these struts on our 2005 Chrysler Town & Country without any major issues, the most difficult task was removing the sway bar links. In all, I replaced the struts, the sway bar links and bushings, and the shocks (same Monroe family). After the installation I had the vehicle aligned, and the shop thought it was a waste of money to have replaced the strut bolts, as recommended by Monroe: so skip this replacement item and save the 20 bucks. Additionally, I had to retighten the strut mounting nuts after the units seated themselves. I also needed to retighten the sway bar link nuts at the same time. The ride has dramatically improved, but I would label it as stiff.
