Hello,
I have 2000 Lexus ES 300… I bought a quick strut and put them on… at the amortization i don’t feel so comfort than my old strut… Is it the spring too new and hard for the car? can you give me more information about that?
Thanks,

Do you know what the torquing requirement is for the nut on the top of the strut is, 1999 Toyota 4runner?

Hi Carl, The springs are built to the same spring rate as the originals. Having said that, Monroe's are never very stiff. I'd be looking at KYB Strut Plus instead. KYB's are always stiffer compared to Monroe's.

I found this very helpful. I have a 2006 GMC Envoy 4X4 with struts on the front and traditional tube shocks on the rear. Struts on a truck? Had I known this I never would have bought it. Anyway I am thinking about the quick struts but I am concerned that the spring rate will not be the same as factory and be too soft. It bounces too much now with the factory Bilsteins on it so I would like it to be a little stiffer. What is your experience with the quick struts on Envoy’s and Trailblazers?

I had Monroe Quik-Struts installed on my Ford F150 today and one of the struts top center bolt was loose from the factory and rattled after being installed. So, the “bad” Quik-Struts are still out there.
