Bought this and the other strut for the other side (Monroe QuickStrut 271951). 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!

I bought this strut assembly and the one for the other side of the front for my 97 Corolla DX. No problems during installation; bolted right up with no need for bolt hole enlargement at the top mount area.

I also replaced the front sway bar end-links and the sway bar bushings as the original ones were torn and loose.

Car rides like brand new after installing all the above.

Be sure to get a front end alignment after replacing front struts.

One final note: This strut was damaged during shipment and was never delivered to my house; I read the status on UPS shipping tracking. I emailed AMAZON customer service about the reported damage from UPS and AMAZON had a replacement at my house in 2 days at not shipping cost. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE from AMAZON.

I replaced the front struts/springs on my 2000 Toyota Corolla. These struts are well made, and they have an opening in the brake line bracket so that you don't have to unhook your break line. So no brake bleeding, unless the struts currently on your car don't have this opening.

These must be a newer model than the 171951/2. The bolts on the strut mount lined up perfectly with the holes under the hood, and I didn't have to drill anything.

Thanks Monroe!

Honest reviews on Monroe 271952 Quick-Strut Complete Strut Assembly

I replaced my old kyb's for this ones, the quick struts aren't good enough for the price I'm very disappointed with this struts, they feel like used, the car don't have the ride control it had with the kyb's when they were new... if you are thinking of buying this product please take a look to kyb's and you will be very satisfied.

Product fit 2001 corrola with no issues, for rear struts, rear brake hose can be a pain, but the bracket was correct. Placement of rear's in the strut tower is a bit tricky, but no hole widening is needed (some other reviews said they did need to be widened).
