I'll be doing this soon on my battered '98 Chevy Prizm (rebadged Toyota Corolla). It's got 225k miles and has seen more than its share of hit-and-run accidents. Anyway, I would leave it as is but my struts are so worn that the car feels like it's free floating on the springs right now. I bought a set of generic quick struts (not Monroe) that won't be great but will be better than nothing. My goal is to get her to 300k before I sell it to a high school kid for a few hundred bucks.

You forgot to take off the tags! We're installing a new set in the front of our vintage '92 Camry, I'll comment again with how it goes!

Midas-the Mcdonalds of mufflers,parts probably desighned to disinigrate right after warranty-torque specs on strut towers? WOW-wonder how many youngsters in the bays at budget mech are skipping that one-add a little rust on that minivan and Walla, broke down again

Thanks for the video, it made up my mind and yes it's just that easy! If it wasn't for the ground wire being rusted solid (I had to cut it off) it would have taken less than 15 minutes and I'm 69 and certainly not a mechanic ! So get with it you young guns. I was quoted over $600. to do this job! It cost me $160.00

Buy a Honda Civic and you wont have to change struts after seven years. Just a thought. The price of those struts could buy me a 2002 neon with 100k miles. NO JOKE. not that I would drive one.

Wow a 600 dollars set of struts on a 2,000 dollar neon? Did anyone else think about this? Your engine is going to crap out before you can even break those struts in. Bahhahaha. Anyways Bilsteins are not that much more why wouldnt you just...

First off, I know that all cars are not the same, and that quickstruts are not available on all cars, remember I said I checked the Monroe website. As far as expense, you cannot buy all of the individual components (upper and lower spring isolators, mount, bearing, jounce bumper, strut, and spring) for less than the cost of the quickstrut. Go ahead and check. Also, my friends quote did not include alignment. My comments are not inaccurate on my example. A 100% markup on parts is inexcusable.
