Quick struts come as an assembly including the springs; the struts themselves; and the strut mount/bearings. I've heard some rumors that the quality of quick struts aren't as good as replacing the struts by themselves. In an effort to keep costs down and be competitive in price, manufacturers will skimp on the quality of the springs; the struts; and maybe even the strut mount/bearings.
Is there any validity to that? Also --- when is it time to replace the strut coil springs?
Quick Strut $133.79 --- https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=3844038&cc=1358018&jsn=421&jsn=421
Strut Only $136.79 --- https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=94085&cc=1358018&jsn=410
Yes that's right; the quick strut costs less than the strut by itself.
