Monroe Strut-Mate Suspension Strut Mount

swapped out the two front struts on my wife's 08 Toyota Highlander hybrid Limited. She always complained about the clanking and bouncy ride so decided to do this once and correct. Not just the struts as many would do. They come in a ready to use set up with the sealed bearings and hardware aside. Just set the bearings in place and re-assemble the strut tower. once completed check the torque specs. If done right, you will have a smooth vehicle with no clanking noise or bottoming out. Remember that when you replace your struts you should also do the strut towers. the bearings keep the ride quiet from grinds.

This COMPLETE PART is a very time consuming and ultimately, less expensive option of buying the strut/shock absorber, strut mount, bellows and bumper, and then paying a mechanic to disassemble the old strut to reuse the spring and assembling the new components with the spring than with a safe spring compressor. You simply remove the old strut assembly and install the new complete unit without having to disassemble and then reassemble the unit to get rid of the worn out strut components. Eliminates the danger of spring compression and saves time and expense.
