MONROE QUICK-STRUT ASSEMBLIES

The first and only Quick-Strut. Monroe Quick-Strut assemblies are unmatched in quality, durability and fit. They simplify the installation process, including everything needed for strut replacement in a single, fully assembled unit with no need for a spring compressor.

Quick-Strut units feature high-quality steel, application-specific coil springs to restore ride height and strut rods which surpass the OE flexibility standard, maintaining structural integrity in the event of a major road impact.

Monroe QS

Restore your car, light truck, SUV or CUV back to OE-quality ride performance and drivability with a Monroe Quick-Strut assembly. Including all the components required for strut replacement without the need for a spring compressor, this complete strut assembly features the strut, coil spring and strut mount preassembled for easy installation. Strut assemblies perform two main jobs: perform a damping function like shock absorbers and provide structural support for the vehicle suspension by supporting the spring and holding the tire in an aligned position.

CAUSES & CONSEQUENCES OF STRUT FAILURE

Like many parts on your vehicle, struts are subject to wear. The rate of wear depends on a wide range of variables, such as road and environmental conditions, your driving style and vehicle load. Causes of worn struts include damaged bushings, exposure to the elements, loss of oil viscosity and gradual degradation of internal components over time. Driving with worn struts can result in problems ranging from reduced braking efficiency, cause premature tire wear, loss of stability and damage to other suspension parts.

IMPORTANCE OF AN ALIGNMENT

Always perform an alignment anytime replacement shocks, struts or other ride control parts are installed. Camber, toe and caster settings can all be affected by installing new struts. Failure to make sure the vehicle’s alignment is within factory specifications can lead to problems like premature tire wear.

IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING RIDE HEIGHT

Proper ride height is crucial to vehicle durability, performance and safety. When inspecting a vehicle, don’t just check the static ride height. The dynamic ride height – the ride height of a vehicle in motion – may tell a different story. The cause of dynamic ride height issues is often worn or damaged coil springs. Don’t just replace the strut – be sure to also inspect for and replace worn coil springs.

HOW TO PROPERLY INSTALL A STRUT ASSEMBLY

Avoid noise after installing a strut assembly with this four-step procedure.

  1. Loosely install 1 or 2 upper mounting nuts and position lower strut mount to steering knuckle assembly
  2. Install lower mounting bolts and lower vehicle to the ground
  3. Locate manufacturer torque specifications
  4. Torque lower bolts and secure upper mounting nuts in alternating pattern

Product Description

ASSEMBLED IN THE USA – This Quick-Strut assembly is assembled with pride in Paragould, Arkansas from domestic and imported components

    Challenging Install on the 1st One, 20 Minutes on the 2nd One...

    Challenging Install on the 1st One, 20 Minutes on the 2nd One...
    The entire procedure only involved 5 bolts on my 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP - 3 on top in the corner of my engine bay & 2 at the bottom where the quick-strut connects to the steering knuckle. Pretty easy to get all the bolts to brake free. I would recommend using WD-40 on the bottom 2 bolts first then work that sh*t in WELL with a wire brush all over the bolts, threads, the other side, etc. Use of a breaker-bar will definitely help. You can get one from AutoZone for $20.The trickiest part was getting the bottom bolts in. I had to read like 5 or 6 reviews then kinda just put them all together to figure it out. The first one was pretty rough. I would recommend to use a small file + sandpaper to scrape off all the crud that builds up on the 2 sides of the steering knuckle after you get the old shocks to come off. Otherwise, the new shock will not slide on too easily over the steering knuckle.So what everybody does is carefully maneuver the assembly in & install the top 3 bolts first. Tighten them down about 95% of the way (at the VERY end, follow torque specs & tighten them down 100%). Next, I had to kinda use both hands to make the steering knuckle go into the slot on the bottom of the shocks - one hand on the steering knuckle, one hand on the shocks. It will kinda line up at this point but the steering knuckle will be MUCH higher than where you want it to be. The best thing to do is grab a screwdriver... If you stand up and push down a couple of times on the steering knuckle, it will start to kinda get lower a tiny bit at a time. Don't expect the holes to line up AT ALL!!! The idea is to be able to line 'em up just enough with repeated pushes in whatever direction you have to go (up, down, side-to-side, whatever) to be able to slide the screwdriver through one of the holes all the way through.Once that's in place, leave it there, grab some Anti-Seize & lube up the 2 BIG bolts well. I had to put some serious effort into grabbing the handle of the screwdriver & pushing it a certain direction while pushing on the caliper/ rotor area with my other hand to get the other hole to line up about 90%. Eventually, you will be able to slide the lubed up bolt through the other hole for the most part WHILE STILL HOLDING THE SCREWDRIVER JAMMED IN ONE DIRECTION WITH SIGNIFICANT MUSCLE EFFORT. If you can get it in a portion of the way, you can grab a hammer & tap it in lightly as you continue to push multiple times on the steering knuckle. You don't have to get the bolt in all the way, just enough so that you have enough threads sticking out the other end so you can begin to tighten on the nut. The nut will pull the entire length of the bolt through at the end. I had to tighten mine to 90 foot pounds.The f*ck1ng 1st one took like 4 hours just to solve the puzzle of how to get the 2 bottom bolts in without dismantling the tie-rod ends & anything else. The 2nd one took about 20 minutes & was a piece of cake. Experience ;D I took the GTP to get some Coronas shortly after. Rides awesome. It noticeably sat higher but everyone says it settles in after a week. I barely felt any of the many road imperfections by where I live. I only did the fronts, back ones I guess seem fine. I would highly recommend a DIY job on this just as long as you can figure out how to install the 2 lower bolts in a timely manner :)

    4.0 out of 5 stars Quick strut label put on top of Tenneco Spectrum label. Spring popped to side. UPDATED Review
    Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2020
    Upon opening the box I immediately notice the spring is popped to the side. I start to look closely and notice wrench/socket marks at top piston center bolt. Then I notice someone put quick strut label on top of Tenneco Spectrum label. I'm bewildered as to why someone would do this.
    UPDATED Review (Changed 1 star to 4): I decided to update this review. After all, I did by used items on Amazon, that said had "cosmetic damage"... just to try to save 30 bucks or so per strut. So It's my fault for taking the risk doing so. In retrospect, I would have just rather bought new, so I was not left to deal with the surprise, delay, and hassle. I didn't want to return the item. I bought a spring compressor and used that to fix one of them. I called Monroe Tech support about the sticker on top of the other one, he said, that's normal, when they re-purpose stand alone struts from stock. I made a few videos about this install, but I'm not sure when I will get to posting them online. My car drives much better now, these struts are more firm than I expected and I do feel the road quite a bit. I'm so curious how other brands of struts would feel on this car. Over all, I'm satisfied with these struts. Here is a hint: Don't over torque the nuts on struts! I bought a torque wrench, and I glad I did, I use it a lot on properly torquing bolts on my car.
