    The actual "Marauder" struts are discontinued... most people use the Monroe Police or severe duty struts. Part#55301

    I have just shy of 136K with original front struts.
    it drives perfect still so I am hesitant to change.

    Rock Auto has FCS Auto strut assemblies for $65.00 & $73.00. Claim to be just like OEM.


    "The FCS Strut Assembly is engineered to meet and exceed O.E.M. quality. The components and valving are designed specifically for each domestic or import car, truck, van, minivan or SUV application. The precisely calibrated valving combinations are individualized for each application to best simulate OE ride and feel.

    Each unit is tested on key measures and manufactured using reliable designs and repeatable production methods. NOK seals, highly-polished chrome rod finish, high performance shock oil, and an OE-type piston ensures first-class quality for each unit made.

    Assembly Includes:

    MacPherson Strut: With NOK seals, mirror-finished, hard-chrome piston rod, and Japanese oil (to ensure great seal, long-life and consistent damping over a wide range of temperatures).
    Coil Spring: 20% of production factory-checked for OE compression levels. Electrostatic coating for optimal corrosion resistance.
    Bearing Plate: From same supplier as Monroe. Endurance tested under extreme load to ensure optimal performance & long life.
    Boot Kit & Bumper: Bumper molded from urethane rubber for long life. Absorbs harsh, damaging road impact and noise for quieter driving.
    Upper Spring Seat: Absorbs harsh, damaging road impact and noise for quieter driving.
    Upper and Lower Isolators: Ensures spring remains stable in all conditions.
    Robust Brackets: Reinforced to ensure integrity and long life"

    I've never used these and am not affiliated to any way with ROck Auto or FCS Automotive International.


    BTW - Rock Auto has a 5% discount.

    I have two sod with KYBs, and have been a big fan of KYBs all my life.

    Took the silver out this weekend since it was sunny.... and they are a little stiff. Might reccomend Monroe Severe Duty.

    I got a leak in one of my stock rears. should I replace just the one or both sides or all 4 at the same time?

    Struts or shocks do not affect ride height...
