Product Features:
- Pre-Assembled Upper Strut Mount: OE-style bearings, SAE-grade nuts and bolts, Superior rubber-to-steel bonding, Plated steel for longer wear, All components manufactured to meet or exceed OE performance
- Bearing Plate: The new bearing plate helps ensure consistent, precise steering return by eliminating “memory steer.” Helps eliminate steering noises commonly associated with worn or corroded bearings. Also improves overall steering smoothness (if equipped - front only)
- Upper Spring Seat: Each new spring seat is engineered to complement the ride control characteristic of the corresponding premium Monroe strut and upper strut mount. The upper spring seat provides consistent performance without transmitting noise or vibration into the chassis.

- Boot Kit: The durable strut boot protects the strut rod and seal from dirt and debris. The premium bumper prevents component damage when the suspension bottoms out
- Spring Isolators: Prevents metal to metal contact and helps eliminate noise between the spring and spring seat
- Premium Strut: Premium strut technology based on application. Each strut features application-engineered valving to complement each vehicle's unique ride and handling characteristics

Comments about Monroe Quick-Strut Complete Strut Assembly:
Over the past 3 years I've had both the passenger and driver's side coil springs break on the rear of my 2000 Alero. My brother (a mechanic) turned me on to these as a replacement option. I could've simply replaced the spring for a fraction of the cost but that's not always the funniest task. Since I knew the struts where probably overdue anyways, the quick struts were a no brainer.
These things come already assembled. Just remove the old assembly and install the new. Takes longer to jack the car up and remove the wheel than it did to put on the new strut/spring assembly.
