Excellent suspension upgrade

These strut mounts improved the handling of my automotive vehicle significantly. The build quality is top-notch and installation was straightforward. I noticed less body roll and improved corning around tight turns. The only downside is that the price is a bit steep compared to other brands, but you get what you pay for in terms of quality and performance.

Pros
  • Durable and reliable construction ensures long-lasting performance.
Cons
  • Installation requires specialized tools and technical expertise, potentially increasing overall cost.

Some junk, out of service 12 months 2 weeks after warranty ends

Some junk, metal above, plastic below. If you tighten the top nut, the bearing will not spin freely. Maybe Ford has the same thing, I'll find out soon. 1 year later: A right front strut mount and bearing failed after hitting one of these metal plates. road ditch. The impact was strong and I heard it break. Ordered new, Mevotech Supremes, which look pretty good, are made from durable rubber to absorb shock. The original parts on the car have 80,000 miles and have never broken or worn out.

Pros
  • Spare parts
Cons

After all, the originals lasted more than 13 years. This only lasted a few months!

They fixed my little rattle when I first installed it, but after a few months the rattle got louder again! Then I thought the rest of the front end was recoverable (160,000 miles, first owner). So did I! After the repair, the knocking remained! Turns out the shelf supports were making noise again. The rubber is separated from the metal plate which is clamped by the top nut. How do I get a warranty replacement from Revain? We refunded the money for the purchase with no problems!

Pros
  • Shock absorbers, struts and suspension
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
