Need Front struts on 07 Malibu LT

8103 Views 10 Replies 8 Participants Last post by  rodhotter
My driver's side Front strut is leaking; So i will need to put in new struts. I cant seem to find much of a selection when it comes to aftermarket.
I don't really like Monroe or KYB. Are there any other options? Take off struts from lower mileage cars would work too. I don't have a spring compressor either so a loaded srtut would be ideal.

Thanks

If you wanna keep costs down get a used one from a low-mileage car. Why don't you like Monroe or KYB?
I've never liked Monroe, just don't like the quality. KYB i guess its just a preference thing. They were always the bottom of the barrel when i was looking at struts for my Mustang. Obviously i had more choices there (i ended up going with Koni).

If i had to choose though i guess id have to go with KYB. I haven't been able to find a loaded one. If i cant ill just compress the spring. MacPherson are a hell of a lot easier and safer than doing the modified MacPherson on my Mustang.
