Bought this and the other strut for the other side (Monroe QuickStrut 271952). Both went on in about 20 minutes; remove bolt holding the brake line to the strut, remove 2x bolts holding strut to steering knuckle, then the 3 bolts up top holding strut in the engine bay, then reverse the process to install the new one..
Installed these on a 98 Toyota Corolla LE with about 230,000 miles on it. A bit of advice:
-you will need WD-40 or the like to penetrate the nuts holding the bolts to the knuckle/strut
-a longer "breaker bar" will help loosen the nuts, as you will need the leverage. I used a 28" long nonratcheting 1/2" driver.
Otherwise, these are dead simple to install. I have heard the rear struts are more difficult to put in..
Ride quality is much improved. My old struts were beyond shot and the car exhibited alot of wheel hop under braking/cornering and shimmy/vibration at highway speeds. These problems are virtually eliminated; no wheel hop and very little shimmy (probably due to my lousy tires).
BTW, I am not a mechanic. Just your average scrawny college educated guy with basic maintenance skills. Good luck!

This is the first time I've replaced shocks before. Due to the simplicity of the Quick Strut, it made installation a breeze. The hardest part was getting the rusted nuts off of the old strut first. I would definitely recommend in having a breaker bar close by. BTW make sure you have a good socket set too. I had one of those 1/2 $30 socket sets from Lowes and the 19mm socket cracked because the rusted nuts were were stronger then it :( Once I got the bolts off, the Quick-Strut was too easy to install. Once I pulled the old shock off, I realized that I had made the right decision in investing in replacing the whole shock due to dismal condition the old shock was in. I would definitely recommend!Best Deals for Monroe 271951 Quick-Strut Complete Strut Assembly

Saved a bundle buying a set of these on Amazon.com. Easy to install, I used a grinder with a cutting blade to cut a slot through the bit surrounding the brake line on the rear struts. Much easier that taking apart the brake line.
