Direct OE replacements, install Monroe mounting kits when replacing conventional struts or springs to reduce noise and vibration and Monroe boot kits to replace damaged jounce bumpers or boots to protect the strut rod. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch4\u003e USE THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOB \u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e Installing shocks and struts with the wrong tools can result in unseen damage, several respected tool manufacturers offer installation kits for the job. These kits include specially engineered sockets – called pass-through sockets – that allow technicians to install new shock absorbers and struts without spinning the piston rod or gripping it in a way that causes damage. Most Monroe shock absorbers and struts are designed to allow for removal and installation using such tools. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch4\u003e CAUSES \u0026amp; CONSEQUENCES OF STRUT FAILURE \u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e Like many parts on your vehicle, struts are subject to wear. Causes include damaged bushings, exposure to the elements, loss of oil viscosity and deteriorated components. Driving with worn struts can result in problems ranging from reduced braking efficiency, tire wear, loss of stability and damage to other suspension parts. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch4\u003e SIGNS OF A BAD STRUT MOUNT \u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e Clunking or rattling noises coming from the suspension area are common symptoms of a bad strut mount. Caused by the metal plate separating from the rubber inside the mount, a failing strut mount can cause premature wear in other components such as the struts and tires. Consider replacing strut mounts in pairs. If one side is worn, chances are that the other side won’t be far behind. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch4\u003e UPGRADE TO A COMPLETE STRUT ASSEMBLY \u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e When replacing a strut, it is important to replace the mount and coil spring at the same time to ensure that your vehicle is restored to original ride height and performance. To simplify a strut repair, consider upgrading to a complete strut assembly. It includes the strut mount and coil spring – everything for a strut replacement in a single, fully assembled unit without the use of a spring compressor. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PERFECTFITPARTSUS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41196235948076,"sku":"2da3b119-4fd2-442a-bd99-57a3d5419e29","price":22.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/4960\/8236\/products\/7b4c0338c30834ff4e762b0c16bde1a5.jpg?v=1683147116","url":"https:\/\/perfectfitpart.com\/products\/monroe-shocks-struts-strut-mate-63628-strut-bumper-and-bellows-kit","provider":"PERFECTFITPARTSUS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
