The Monroe 171662L Strut fit was just the like ODM strut. Easy to install. My '03 Impla has that "like new" ride again. Good price from the seller and arrived on time.

Bought all four for our Grand Prix and these things made the cars ride come alive again. It's funny though, experts recommend changing these every 50K miles but we changed ours at 200K. For the customers though, I really hope Amazon starts to sell them again because they have the best price and their shipping is always the best since nomrally it's free and super fast. Very easy to replace though. They might not align up perfect but all you need to do is get the top bolts on and then take a bar and twist it to where it needs to go. I'm not going to lie, the rear ones are a pain because there is not much room to work to get the bolts off but just take your time and you'll get it. I actually used an O-Ratchet which worked perfect for the limited space. If you are thinking about doing your struts and either buying the complete kit or the pieces and doing it yourself, save yourself the time, money and frustration and just by the kit because it's the only way to go!

I changed out the rear strut assemblies on the wife's Pontiac Grand Prix, which meant that I had to dig threw her extended purse, (commonly known to the rest of the world as a trunk), in order to get to the three upper mounting nuts on the strut assembly. These quick struts were an exact match to the original equipment.I would reccomed a long breaker bar (about 36") because the nuts on the lower control arm bolts are torqued to 90 ft/lbs. Put the car on jack stands remove the tires and use a floor jack to help raise and lower control arm and strut assemblies to align all of the mouting hardware.
I reccomend starting the three upper nuts first, then use the floor jack to raise or lower the control arm to help align the lower bolts on the quick strut assembly before finally jacking the floor jack to compress the strut to align the ant-sway bar arm mount bolt. Proper torque is the key to safety.
Upper strut nut torque: 30 ft/lbs.
Lower strut nut torque: 90 ft/lbs.
Ant-sway arm nut torque: 26 ft/lbs.
