I installed this complete strut with no problems, except the tab for the anti-sway bar link is shaped so that it more difficult to tighten certain non-OEM links.
It's probably due to the single part number for both right and left side.
I installed this unit in about 2 hours on the drivers side. The 3 top bolts lined-up fine. Getting the new strut into the wheel hub was a struggle, so be prepared.
After the job was done, the noise went away and the car sounds great. Note that I had already replaced the lower ball joint and stabilizer bar link with no change in the noise, even though both had torn boots around the joints. I replaced the plastic OEM link (TRW) with a metal one, but the plastic one actually held up fine, even with torn boots and was easier to remove/install than the metal (cheap) one I have on the car now.
This strut is worth the extra money, because you don't need a spring compressor and you save time and trouble with a complete unit. The individual cost of the basic strut, strut mount (bearing) and spring, would cost more than this easy to install strut assembly.

It arrived in a professional packaged box with detailed instruction for installation. It is easy to install and fits my 99 Taurus 24V DOHC very well except for one small hole. At the bottom of this strut, there are several holes and one of them is to fix break line using a screw. The hole is supposed to have threads inside so the the screw can be tightened up. But no threads at all in MONROE strut. So I could not use the original screw and have to find a smaller bolt and nut.Best Deals for Monroe 171615 Quick-Strut Complete Strut Assembly
An exact replacement for the oem strusts with one exception. The bottoms of these are rounded over whereas the oem struts were flat. This required a little more prying to get them in my 2003 taurus. My son put it in while I stood on a 5 ft. long pry bar on the control arm. The rest was easy.Honest reviews on Monroe 171615 Quick-Strut Complete Strut Assembly
The strut worked fine and was easy to install since it was the complete strut assembly. Amazon had the lowest price not including the free shipping. They only had one in stock so I had to buy the other one locally for $30 more.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Monroe 171615 Quick-Strut Complete Strut Assembly
Purchased two of these for front on my Mercury Sable.Professionally installed.
So far so good.
Then odd squeaking developed.
Suspension squeak. Random. Not all the time.
Then this odd squeak which seemed to come from under right front dash.
Mechanics more then a few places began guessing. They viewed the new or newer struts so it couldn't be them.
Ball joints suggested.
Wheel bearing hub suggested.
Power steering pump suggested.
And on and on.
These issues did not occur right away. Over time.
Finally one alignment guy stated it had to be the Monroe Quick Struts. The bearing plate on tops was defective. Caused all of the squeaks.
I replaced both front with Gabriel Ready Mounts.
Rides nicely. No squeaks. No odd sounds. Squeak under dash disappeared. Quiet.
Do READ the warranty on all.
The Gabriel are lifetime warranty. Be careful though, the retailer sets the warranty not the manufacturer. Yes, the retailer sets the warranty. You can telephone Gabriel as I did to obtain this information.
So read up on all warranties.
