Product arrived in excellent condition, Jacked and blocked up vehicle, removed front wheels. Removed brake caliper and wired up out of the way, removed 15 mm nuts from upper mount on top of inner fender under the hood. Removed 21 mm nuts and drove out the bolts from the lower suspension with the hammer and punch.

Removed the old strut assembly (DO NOT TAKE APART, under Severe Spring Tension)!! Make sure lower suspension arm doesn't drop too far when removing the old strut and be careful of the brake line, brake hose and ABS sensor and wiring.

Install new quick strut assembly per the instructions that comes with them, top first, then lower end. May need to move lower suspension up or down to align strut to get the lower mounting bolts in. Use alignment punch in one of the two holes to get one bolt in (use caution and don't flatten bolt threads), then put the second bolt in.

Tighten bolts and torque the nuts.

Tools need are floor jack, safety jack stands or blocking, 15mm socket and ratchet, 21mm deep socket and ratchet or 1/2" drive air impact wrench, hammer, alignment or drift punch 1/4" or 3/8" diameter by 6" long, and torque wrench (not necessary but good idea to torque the nuts to proper specs for upper mount nuts and lower suspension bolts.

Reinstall the brake caliper, mount the wheels and torque the lug nuts, remove safety stands and put vehicle down.

Took about an hour a side to change both front quick struts.

Easy job actually. First time I've done it and would highly recommend the Quick Strut for the do-it-yourself mechanic.

These are great struts, easy to install and the corrrect fit IF you research the numbers elsewhere. DO NOT TRUST the Amazon finder. Go through a reputible automotive site which sells them to get the CORRECT part number. I love Amazon...but their vehicle application search engine is terrible.

Over the past year, the ride in my Grand Prix had seriously deteriorated. It would bounce more than what is reasonable just going over small bumps and would bottom out on larger bumps or potholes. It would even scrape the bottom of the car going over a speedbump in parking lots as slowly as possible. So basically my springs and struts were both worn out.

I figured the easiest way to fix the problem would be to buy some preassembled struts. I've had these Monroe assemblies on the car for a few weeks and the ride is better. It doesn't bounce any more than it should and it no longer bottoms out or scrapes speedbumps. Now I just need to get it aligned!

Honest reviews on Monroe 171661 Quick-Strut Complete Strut Assembly

My car now has 79,560 miles has original struts and of course the front is starting to have that common "bounce" of worn struts and coil springs and after researching the KYBs and others realized its just a strut and all other components have to be purchased seperately,so decided to try atleast the front quick strut pair and give it a shot. First off we jacked up the car in the driveway had one strut off in literally 10 min and new one on in about 9 same with the other, as soon as we lowered the car down you can see how much higher it sat from the top of the tire to the wheel well...took it for a test drive over the same bumpy road ive been driving down for the past 20 years and noticed a complete difference from the bumps to the dips and cracks in the pavement. If these struts lasts a few thousand miles its worth every penny the order was shipped and recieved in 3 days and cheapest price around even less than auto stores in the area Amazon is the best in both aspects.

fronts struts were a piece of cake,,back took some work, however my local tire chain store wanted 11 hundred bucks to replace 4 quick struts on my 2002 monte carlo. With my promotions i bought all 4 for 411.00 bucks and installed them myself. Well worth the effort,,,just be careful of the rear abs sensor and plug assembly...if you break it you get to buy a new rear bearing assembly like i did. Timken bearing is 90 bucks,,i took a chance with a used one for 30 bucks...so far so good PS,,,remove rear stabilizer bar before you try and remove old strut,plus you need to get inside trunk to remove inside nuts...
