Finally! Got my rear struts done. The pics are of,November 2018 I had mechanic order for install 4 new struts,kyb plus .these are the rears. 6.75 years..back 🔙 f far was slouching to tire ground. Had about 50,000 miles I estimate,more like 54,0000 since 2018.i park car outside new England it's exposed too 22 degrees dry air jan-feb. July August humidity and 97-100 degree humidity heat..takes its toll..rust .but it's not to rust...as I've heard other mechanics offer to it as
Back May, front struts really bad,feel the street,vibrations steering wheel .wanted to try monroes again havnt since 1996.they suck .ordered Amazon.quickstrut.i ordered the black 🖤 nes,upper tier monroes,not the lower tier blue ones..basically McPherson crappy struts I was once told .I ordered the rear ones..since May,they never came in..I was being charged $200 months may-august I called Amazon service,they said it was refunded ..yet my bank statements do not show that. Refund .woman said it is want allowing her too cancel order odd..even by Amazon's standards, this is unacceptable.she Tyoed message too warehouse,disregard my order.
Went with advance auto premiums ...the rears .
Mechanic showed me in pics I took...pushing down on the struts,Thier slow coming back up too .should be fast..
They feel great...plus $50 coupon...$124.99 each minus $50.?$200 set.
The monroes are okay..but going over speed bumb,pothole, thiers a thump....and passenger side kinda deep dip down .never against Amazon for struts.i expect by 2030 to have 30-32,000 miles on them.every car we've had few,from 1992 to now .struts will not last 7 years southwest CT here look at pics..
It's the rod in the front struts.
So! Wanted too share with everyone hgere! Enjoy!
