Monroe Quick-Strut 172179R Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly for Chevrolet Cobalt

Monroe has always put out a superior product and this is no exception combined with the ease of a 5 bolt install and nothing else to take apart couldn't get any better. Took only about an hour to hour and a half to replace both this and the left side . Sure did improve the ride and handling and got rid of that rattle in the front end

I installed these about 12,000 miles ago, and the ride is so much better than the stock struts ever were. They ride great, no complaints. I also replaced all of the bushings and control arms in the front and rear, and the rear shocks, so the 2007 Cobalt LT is now quieter and more comfortable than it was when new. Not a single regret buying these.

Put this on my car and install was fast and easy. Works better than the one I took out for sure.

I would waste my time or money ordering another Monroe shock everyone has went bad quickly

(I have a review posted in both Left/Right products) These are pre-sprung, struts. We had a shop install them as I'm getting too old to climb around under a car. We had the rears replaced at the same time. The price of the struts with the springs was the same price the shop would have charged for a set of struts, without new springs attached. Cost to have the shop replace all four shocks, for those who care, we paid $352.00 in labor. To have the front and rear wheels aligned, all four tires rotated and high speed balanced, the shop wants $135.00. The set of shocks was installed on a 2007, Pontiac, G5 which has 65k miles on the odometer. The car was getting sloppy in the mountains, making me look like a worse driver then I really am. I'm not the best driver in the world but I'm far from being the driver the old shocks made me seem. Immediately upon getting back on the road with these new struts, with a set of standard Sensa-Trac shocks in the rear, even when going down a straight stretch of road, one could feel the difference in how the vehicle was responding to the surface of the road. BIG difference in handling. Fast two day delivery; Amazon, Prime. The struts had a Monroe sticker on them. I went to the Monroe website and used their search engine to verify which shocks were the right shocks for our car and then entered the Monroe supplied part numbers into Amazon's search engine. FYI (I didn't know this) the struts are left and right sided so be sure to purchase a left and right shock. The rear shocks don't have this concern. Over all, other then the heavy price paid to have the shocks replaced (ouch!), these struts are an excellent "MONROE" product, at an excellent delivered price and I wouldn't hesitate to order more or encourage family/friends to buy these shocks as stock replacement shocks.

Direct fit for my Mother's HHR. I get stuck being the family mechanic so I had to do the job. I ended up spending more money by buying this assembled unit. But it was worth the time saved as well as the reduced risk of having to remove a compressed spring. Don't know what kind of damage it can cause? Google it and be amazed, haha. It only took me 45 minutes to replace both sides and I wasn't even rushing. The shop wanted $600 to do the job, I ended up spending less than half that.

My shocks were shot, by the time (and additional cost) it would take to replace the shock and get it out of the strut assembly I decided to buy the whole assembly. Price here at Amazon was far cheaper than a brick and mortar auto parts store. Fairly quick and easy replacement, and definitely restored the ride quality and no issues after over 1 year

Works as a perfect stock replacement in my 2007 cobalt. I bought both sides so this review will appear on both parts. It took me and my father in law approximately 45 minutes to do both sides and had a significant effect on the steering and controllability of the car. This was after the bearing plate on the drivers side started grinding and making terrible sounds. I got a quote from local places that exceeded $800 and would take up to 2 days. I chose to do it our selves and it only took a small amount of time and elbow grease. Without air tools, this job would probably take 90 minutes if your car isn't too rusted. we also replaced the stabilizer links with this repair since it was easier to get to and we could take the link out with the old strut. This is better than the factory in terms of the feel and quality. I got it in two days and it was a lot cheaper. It seemed more appropriate for us to replace the whole assembly instead of just the plate because of the risk of spring compressors and the inevitability of the struts to leak.

Amazing price and quick shipping. Makes install much quicker and safer.

I really liked the price of the compared to instore.. about $200 savings. They also fit perfectly for my 07 cobalt 2dr. The ride quality is amazing. Definitely recommend these if you are upgrading your suspension.

One stud was broken off, probably during shipping but mechanic drilled it out and replaced it with a bolt and nut. No big whoop…quick install.

Received this item super fast. Was a perfect fit for my 2007 Pontiac G5 (front right). My mechanic was able to install it in less than an hour. Would've given 5 stars but the box was already ripped opened upon arrival, which was quite concerning. Thankfully, all the parts and instructions were still present.

This is the best price you'll get on these MacPherson struts anywhere in Canada. Even with discounts from Canadian Tire, you won't even get close to this price. They arrived on time with a small scratch or two. Who cares, they are shocks, they can take it. These are brand new with all the bits and bobs needed for install. The only bolt they don't come with is the bolts to attach it to the steering knuckle.
