Great tutorial video, Thank you
Great vid.
Everyone seems to shit on these but they worked just fine on my 07 Altima. No weird noises after almost a year. The only issue I ran into was one strut assembly was missing an upper mounting bolt, so I had to substitute an OEM one.
I agree. I've used Monroe struts quite a bit over the years and zero issues.
both rear 172400 quick strut assemblies are missing one upper mounting bolt. Is there a way to take off one from the worn out OEM strut and substitute it for the missing one on the monroe?
@@CarsNToys it's not Monroe he's referring to being shit on, it's the all in one kit everyone ships on regardless what Brand ,for whatever reason most mechanics don't like the all in one quick strut they'd prefer to install the strut ,spring etc individually with a spring press !!
I really don't understand the dislike of Monroe Quick-Struts. I think most issues guy complain about are caused by improper installation mistakes or other worn-out suspension parts that weren't replaced as well. I replaced the OEM because of failing bearing plates with Monroe and then had a knocking issue. That was quickly solved by replacing my worn sway bar links, the struts are fine. Happy to say I bought from RockAuto on manufactures close out for only $90 for both struts, very happy with them. Nice job CarsNToys.
Thank you. My Tacoma is 18 years old, and.... tired.
Sir so you tight the bottom 2 bolts first and the upper 3 bolts last ? What will happen if I tighten the upper 3 bolts first ?
How are these holding up now ?
Had a poping noise after installing every time I turned but my the poping noise went away I’m assuming they had to break in 🤷🏾♂️
I did this on my 95 nissan maxima, and afterwards I've had a popping sound when I turn the steering wheel. Either way, left or right, it's a pop, pop, pop, pop until you can't turn the wheel anymore, then the same going back. I can't see anything wrong, but started immediately after replacing the driver side strut.
Probably the strut mount.

Had this same issue but the noise went away. A few weeks after
@3:03 is a call signed...🤣
Is there a left and right, or the struts are the same on both sides?
When I ordered mine for a kia optima they came in a set ,but they offered them individually also and it did say Driverside or Passenger so I'd assume they are different
@@ConditionZero76 A Kia Optima? Damn, that was a poor choice.
I might have saved money with tbese el cheapo Chinexe made Monroe struts, but one was defective upon installation, while the other side lasted s few weeks before getting noisy and clunky.
Both were tpreplaced by RockAuto under warranty easily, it was srill a hassle.. The second set are okay after 1000miles or so, but I am not optimistic.
How are they so far
So dramatic can come crashing down 😂😂😂
Thanks for not showing me the only hadd part...how to INSTALL SOLO...how do you secure the top bolts while also holding assembly in place?
He showed that watch again
I had three Monroe quick struts bearings fail in less than 1 year high mileage though over 25,000. They say you have to lower the car with the wheel on then tighten the 3 top nuts. I didn't know this at the time so may be my fault. Though I still don't trust them.
Nice to know this trick. I've replaced mines a couple times in the lite-time warranty.. such a hassle. Now i'll be buying new KYBs because i'm tired of Monroe... hopefully they last a decent time.
@@ThiagoVelloso I replaced the top mounts on the Monroe struts with KYB top mounts. See how well they last now.
Idk maybe you had bad luck or maybe you installed wrong but I installed Monroe expert series 2 years ago and they have 56,000 miles with no issues. I would not even be mad if they failed at this point given the price paid for them (little under 100 per quick strut).

Don't do it. Go with KYB.
On some models they don't offer kyb quick struts so Monroe is the next best thing they are made in usa so you can't go wrong with either imop
@@BenDover-lx1gh Monroe is a USA based company but these Quick Struts are made in China.
