AutoShack Struts:
I can not recommend these struts in good faith. Shortly after install, these struts started to squeak and moan badly. Please do not buy these. AutoShack has refused my request for a warranty replacement because I didn't install these right away. While under a technicality of a very small window of a 6 month warranty, that is their right they are exercising. So I will also exercise mine. Stay tuned.
