Review on Monroe 171572L Quick Strut Complete Assembly by Brandon Kraemer

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Exact Fit 04 Grand Caravan

This is an exact replacement for our 2004 Dodge Grand Caravan. After the replacement, the normal drove 215,000 km, the mileage is close to the factory performance. Although the originals didn't look worn (no bouncy front end), the squeaking seemed to indicate the bottom plate was worn, but a replacement was long overdue. After watching a few videos on how easy these are to replace, I started replacing them myself. If you don't live in the Rust Belt, this might be easy. I found the front stabilizer bar nuts to be almost impossible to remove due to corrosion (plan to swap out the end links if you replace the factory struts). There is a pretty good video from 1aauto showing the removal and they also note that a saw is used to remove the end links (good luck if you get a good angle to cut the bottom bolt off with no pry or jack ) if you live in a rust belt.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Not All Fit
