Monroe Quick-Strut 171572L Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly for Dodge Grand Caravan

It was the best purchase I've made so far. Saved a hundred dollars and so far I can't complain! Will definitely buy from then in the future.It did get here one day late.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great Price for MonroeVan rides great nice and smooth and quiet

Buy it now; don't keep looking; don't go cheap with some off brand or lower price/quality level.Some concerns that I had before receiving and installing these units, Monroe 171572L and 171572R:- will the spring rate match the original OEM? I didn't want something weaker than what I removed.- will assembled quality match/exceed original OEM?YES, YES.The ride quality was restored to at better than I can ever remember. The fit-up was as good or better than the original factory OEM units. No more strange noises - very quiet suspension now.The installation details:- I used spray paint to scribe/mark the location of the original unit. This was so that I could install the new units as close as possible to try to match the camber alignment. This definitely helped - I will still go and get the alignment checked/adjusted, but I think I came really close, if not nailed it.- I performed this work ( both strut assemblies) together with replacement of L/R sway bar links, L/R axle CV joints, and both sway bar bushings.

Pro's - easy installation. However, I'd recommend 2 people. Post installation front end alignment was minimal. Still, I would recommend an alignment. Very easy to remove old struts and install these. Look to get these for around $102-$104 USD per strut or less. Paired with the Monroe rebate, I paid about $50 per strut.Con's - comparable to OEM but I'd like a bit of a smoother ride with the new assembly. It is still a bit stiff.Overall: Buy these struts at the best price possible. Easy to install. Alternatively, you could work with a local garage and have them install these for the labor cost.

Everything matched up for the install

I had no issues with it. It came on time and I installed it.

Kudos- to Amazon and their sellers. Monroe struts are considered the premium standard for automotive chassis repair (my opinion, and many others too). These simply are great parts and WELL BELOW (nearly 50%) local auto stores prices. They were complete ready to install and came with most new hardware, leaving only a few bolts that had to be re-used. You can find cheaper parts but the ones listed with this review- are amongst the industries best and coming through an Amazon seller, just a great value. Also, if you are a DIY type of person, this is a realistic project that can be completed by someone with average mechanical skill in a reasonable amount of time. I am highly mechanical (also a perfection nut on stuff like this), and spent about 3 hours doing both sides and a couple other chassis components. Just remember the vehicle should be re-aligned immediately following installation.Good Luck!!!!

Installed Monroe Quick-Struts 171572R and L on 2006 Chrysler T&C minivan. The install was fairly easy and I had my work checked out during the re-alignment - All good. I noticed more body roll, but still a good ride for the first two months. The ride became increasingly softer, allowing more body roll, and also became lower. The vehicle now scrapes at every parking curb and going in and out of driveways - never happened before. Cornering has become substandard. Take note of the smaller diameter of the coil spring as compared with the original - it's noticeable just by looking at it. It becomes mushy very fast. This product should NOT be used for the 2006 Chrysler T&C minivan. It's been a very fast decline in performance and now at almost 6 months of use, I am ready to find an OEM replacement that works like the originals. Original struts lasted 9 years. Seemed like a good idea to install the Quick Strut, but it hasn't performed well after the first 60 days. I've done lots of car work - Be safe and FIND A BETTER PRODUCT.
