The struts on the minivan are about gone...lots of bottoming and noise. I got about 60K out of the last ones (Sachs)but it's time to replace them. With 132K on the van I'm determined to see if I can run it to 200k miles before letting it go so I need to replace these.
I was happy with the Sachs...nice ride/handling balance and they seemed to last pretty well but am considering giving the Gabriel Ultras a try...read some decent reviews about them. I'm not a big fan of Monroes...prior experience with them was they were very soft and didn't last (granted, a few years ago...maybe they've improved).
Does anyone have any experience with the Gabriels? There aren't a lot of options out there for struts...KYB, Sachs, Monroe and Gabriel seem to be what's available (not including the inexpensive Sensen). I need to pull the trigger on something soon...appreciate any input.
