VERY POOR MANUFACTURING USING CHEAP POT METAL AS THEY WERE COMPLETELY CORRODED FROM SALT,ETC. COULDN'T FIND REPLACEMENT STRUTS IN STOCK ANYWHERE(OUT OF STOCK AND ON BACK ORDER CROSS COUNTRY) AND IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION. BOTH STRUTS WENT WITHIN A TWO WEEK PERIOD AND I ENDED UP GETTING TWO USED STRUTS FROM A JUNK YARD OFF OF A 2004 STRATUS WHICH HAD BEEN TOTALLED WITH 2000 MILES ON IT. |
