KYB shouldn’t let you down but don’t sleep on HL Mando. Certainly the one I would go with if you have a Hyundai or Kia as this is their OEM but a ton of other brands use HL Mando from the factory too.
Almost forgot Sachs, if you have a euro car they are also a great choice.
Been using monroe in my 08 optra with a cng kit, it's working great for Indian roads for me. Planning to install monroe on my 09 city as well.
No grinding or clunking sounds. Just a slight gear whine at certain speeds. I recognize that this means that the gears weren’t perfectly setup and will thus wear faster, but I can live with that.
Pro-tip, the Moog "quick struts" are the same as the A.C. Delco better line of products. I put them side by side and the markings are exactly the same. the stop is the same as well. Once I put those on it at 150k, it rode like a new car. (new bushing too).
I am running monroe struts on my 11 Fozz since 90K miles. Ride has been much softer with those. I like that better than OEM; personal preference.
I just bought Monroe "heavy duty" struts for my Crown Victoria. The shocks are way too soft compared to oem, and they're leaking at only a year and a bit of age. Less than 15,000km on them. They also don't seem to have the same amount of travel compared to the oem, and I feel them slamming into the max extension bump stops. Done that since new.
The Monroe and kyb are both good products. I've had failures with both brands but it's not very often. The main difference I've personally noticed, is the Monroe quick struts trend to ride a bit stiff.
I've tried loaded struts a few times on these trucks, they just can't stand up to use of such a heavy vehicle, the bushings fail nearly instantly.
Same Monroe box you get at Napa for these. FWIW these are trash. Ride quality will be different and they won’t last very long.
