Default Monroe strut mounts are garbage

like it says monroe strut mounts are garbage brought some put off getting them on for about a year and decided it was a good time to do it well when i went to put the strut back on the car the threaded sleeve that the bolt goes through apparently is just pressed in well they popped right out so i wound up haveing to buy some more but i got the kyb mounts and they look like they were built alot better.

That's the problem I had with that style and the same reason I send people to NAPA for the steel ones that look just like the OEM version.

The autozone...don't remember the brand, Upper "Shock"(not struts, lol) mounts are decent. The studs that go through the top arn't as long as the stock ones was my only complaint.

Ever consider running a bolt through and doing away completely with the threaded sleeve?

Monroe struts and mounts are crappy, I should know that is what my company sells. I am about due for struts and shocks and I will NOT put
them on my car. Going to get the strut mounts from GM parts direct and bilsteins from a sponsor. Monroe and Gabriel are okay for moms van but they are not a good choice for ANY sports car, or any car that you want to handle good.
