Great for the money , good fit !!
Put em on a 2009 mustang . Good height fit etc . Camber close enough to go with but I will fine tune with bolts . Bought a pair just before this a little cheaper . Camber off so bad I just took the loss and bought these struts . They feel good only time will tell how long they last !

My car feels like new again
My car feels like new again I absolutely loved this product. Installation was quick and the difference was noticeable immediately. My Toyota Corolla now drives much smoother, more stable, and more comfortable. Excellent quality and a great purchase.

Great strut assemblies at less than half the price of repair shop cost.
I was quoted about $800 to replace front struts and sway bar end links. Ordered these for my 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan and saved a ton of money on the parts plus I did the installation on my own via YouTube videos . Our van rides very smooth and quiet now. If the bolts on the top plate don't line up with your vehicle you may need to use a long screwdriver to wedge across the bolts and slowly twist until the bolts align with holes. One of my strut assemblies was perfectly aligned out of the package, the other needed to be adjusted using this method. Installation took me about two hours. I also ordered sway bar end links and installed at the same time. Be sure to go back and torque the top plate nuts a second time after installation - maybe after driving 100-200 miles. Two of the nuts on one strut had loosened unexpectedly but are now holding after I tightened them again. This is normal, especially if the strut needs to settle in or wasn't seated correctly upon installation. Suspensions take a beating and even movement a fraction of a millimeter can result in a loose bolt and you just need to check it after installation to be sure. Longevity is unknown at this point as we've only put about 3,500 miles on our van since installation. Overall VERY happy with these struts at this price point. If they don't hold up I will update this review.

Great kit. Install tips...
Excellent product, restored the height and ride quality of our minivan. Pro-Tips: Use of air tools is recommended for this job. Lower nuts/bolts tend to get pretty rusty being exposed to the elements. When taking the old unit out, make sure to compare it to the unit you are installing and ensure that the top plate bolts are in the same position, if not, spin the top plate until they are. You cannot install these incorrectly, it just makes the installation go a bit easier. Bolts on the lower mount are pressed in. Use a heavy hammer to knock them out once the nuts have been loosened. Use PB Blaster to soak the nuts on the lower mount, as they are likely to be very rusted. It may also be necessary to heat the nuts with a torch if a couple of treatments with the PB Blaster don't do the trick. The sway bar link arm is secured to the middle mount on the quick strut with a bolt that has a T-40 (Torx) insert to spin the bolt. This was the most difficult piece to remove as it was very rusted. Buy a heat treated T-40 bit that mounts to a ratchet and soak the piece multiple times with PB Blaster to ensure easy removal. If the torx piece is too rusted, you can also place a vice grip on the back side of the bolt, where there is a flattened part of the bolt just for this purpose and spin the nut off that way. Also, when installing the bottom bolt on the lower mount, try to make sure it is in the middle of the elongated hole, this will get you as close as possible to correct alignment. Make sure to take your vehicle to a shop to get an alignment after installation or you may do serious damage to your tires due to misalignment.

Works good.
Fixed 2014 ford fusion hybrid. Lifted suspension by an inch. I Imagine that’s normal for replacing one’s with 100k miles on them. It does not feel like oem but its a good repair for the price.

Look Elsewhere
Hoping I save you all the trouble I had. I purchased in Summer of 2020 (installed without issue.) All was good for about 1 3/4 years. Then I heard a metal on metal noise when turning the wheel to the right. I couldn't pin point the issue, thought it was rack/pinion. I took it to the mechanic and he confirmed it was the spring rubbing. I work from home, rarely drive honestly and when I do, I drive passively. No bumps at 80 MPH. The mechanic had to replace these not even 2 year old struts and now all is good. Although past the return window by far and used, I contacted Detroit Axle about their "10 Year Warranty" and was hoping to get some kind of comp back as a matter of good faith. The warranty includes me shipping the struts back (at my expense) and if they are deemed defective by them (no guarantees here), receiving new ones. (Mind you, all while without having a car to drive to wait for them which didn't sound like a speedy process either.) I tried to save a few bucks here to buy from this company for the part. It didn't work out for me in the long term. I'd probably have given them another shot with some type of comp as I understand things happen. But that didn't pan out. If you need a part that may last a year or 2, this is may be a good route based on my experience.

Air Ride Delete.
Fast delivery. I used this kit to replace the air ride system on my 2011 Navigator L. Perfect fit and if you have the proper tools it's a 1 hour job. To delete the air system kits are sold for much more but you just need to turn off the system on the dashboard. No modual needed.
