New strut time

Got 185k on the odometer. Fronts Oespectrums have 130K on them. Rears a year old. Roads in South Carolina are the bottom of the 50 states bad so I have to do the rear shocks every 2 years. Any new dampers that are better than these??

I think the monroe strut (not quick strut) with oem springs worked best (I tried quick struts but they were a bit too "harsh" for me.) So you are running my setup. Only 1 year, man you must not have any fillings left in your mouth if the roads are that bad.

You're not changing the rears because of a creaking sound are you? Because that's a different common issue

Its terrible, front looks sandblasted too. The front struts held up well though. Making another post in a sec after changing my oil last night. CVT issues and an old problem came back.
