      Comments about Monroe Gas-Matic Strut:

      Checked on several strut replacement for the 2004 Sentra. This car had 130K on it when I bought it and I knew the struts had not been replaced prior. Make sure before you install you have everything. I needed the dust boot that went over the strut. Mine was OEM and completely bad. Had to wait a day to finish the job but that is MY fault not the fault of the product. Product seems to be doing well

              Comments about Monroe Gas-Matic Strut:

              I bought a pair of these to replace a leaking pair on a used 2005 Nissan Sentra I recently purchased. I believe they're equivalent in ride quality to the OEM rear struts/shocks. Installation was quick and easy and everything fit perfectly. Keep in mind that you'll need a spring compressor for the installation.

              I had a coupon which I applied to the purchase which made the deal even better.

              Even without the coupon, if you're on a budget and looking for OEM handling I think these will fit the bill nicely.
