HELP!!! New strut went bad after 5 mins Twice.....WHY??
So basically i changed all 4 struts on my car on saturday, and when i was on my way home from closing the garage i hear this clunking noise within 2 mins in the back. The next morning on my way to open the garage, i lift the car up and the right side rear strut went bad...WTF??? So i thought to myself that maybe it was defective..but no. I put in another strut today and within five minutes of driving i hear the same noise. I never had a problem like this since i've bought the car and changed the suspension twice. So before i call up the parts store, and tell him that it went bad again...what should i have checked out? I asked a friend of mines, and he had said to check for frame damage, but everything looks perfectly fine as ive had it checked out before.
BTW they are Monroe struts with stock springs, didnt want that stiff ride with the kyb agx's anymore.

check the the mount, and the way the spring is seated in the strut...make sure its assembled correctly.
