Monroe 171597 Front Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly Review

I just installed these for a 2003 Honda Odyssey. These are the Monroe sensa-trac quick struts. It was a breeze. took me 2.5 to 3 hours to do both front with new stabilizer links and brake pads. If you can afford the extra money, I would recommend these. Saves alot of time and you have the added safety of not removing the springs. You also get new springs and top hat which has a bushing in it. The ride is definitely improved, although improved is defined differently for each of us. It is firmer, but not in a bad way. It takes small bumps alot better. The big bumps or potholes have always been bad for Odyssey's, that hasn't changed. There is less body roll and it seems the road noise has improved, maybe having to do with all new parts in the assembly.

Seriously, its 5 bolts, then the brake line (it unbolts and slides out so you don't have to bleed them) then the stabilizer bar link and it's out. Do the reverse and buy a cheap torque wrench from harbor freight tools. The only thing about the Odyssey was looking for a 22mm wrench and socket, but that was a quick trip to SEARS and then I returned them right afterwards (I know that's not right, but I did buy some other tools when I returned them).

Remember to replace the stabilizer bar links while you are in there. You have to remove one side anyways and they are really cheap.

Hope this helps

The ride has not changed much from new. It does seem to chatter a little more than new over rough roads (rebound dampening not holding as well), but still takes the small bumps well. Its been hard to tell more from it since my wheel bearing is starting to humm. I am still pleased with this product and would recommend over dealer prices. Only thing is I think the original spring is a better product, especially with chattering this has started to develope.
