Strut assembly KYB or Monroe
KYB is OE on a Toyota. I have used these on several cars without an issue. They might be a little stiff at first.
Looking at good quality replacement parts and non dealer labor ($150/hr), you can fix it for 6k. Sway bar links, shock absorber, control arm: $900 in parts (OEM struts, Mevotech Control Arms) + $150 alignment + 5-7 hours of labor.
KYB's are usually a better product and def what I would use between the 2 on my cars.
I owned a Dodge Caliber, not for long but I did. You have **Struts in the Front** and **Torsion Bar setup** in the Rear; meaning the Springs and Shocks are separate in the Rear
Mine lasted 5 years on my 02.
Monroe quick struts... All four corners fully assembled for 67 off Amazon.
The new struts are KYBs and the old struts looked factory. The car just looks to be sitting higher now with the new struts in?
My kyb quick struts on my sienna lasted about 7 months. One leaked, the other top bearing plate failed.
There stiff i got them on my 2016 accord i replaced the 19in wheels with 17s and it kinda helped
The Monroe quick struts made my Lexus ES300 a low rider so I exchanged them for FCS.
