The unit was easy enough to install and make a big difference in ride and handling. However, after about 200 miles or less I began to hear a LOUD rattle from under the hood. I finally figured out the nut on the strut shaft had loosened, a lot. After several calls to Monroe Customer Service I was told to re-torque the nut to 50 ft/lbs. CS said that the nut should not have loosened. The exact same thing happened to a Monroe Quick Strut that I installed on my wife’s Camry. Really poor quality control. Shame on you Monroe. These things are not inexpensive either.
