The first ones I bought where bad, lucky I installed myself and didn’t pay someone to do it, but they sent new ones out. They came in next day and have not had a problem out of them

Delivered on time, typical install time with minimal issues, so far working properly
Michael Lane –
I would not purchase these struts again! I purchased them during prime days to get the discount. I put them on last week, and the quality is horrible. They make a lot of noise, and flex way too much. I checked the specs to see if they were torqued down properly, but that was not the case. Now I am outside the return policy, and had to put the old struts back on. Now I have to get another alignment. Waste of time and money.

Road stability and steering response have improved dramatically. Now the Traverse doesn’t sink as much when braking (reduced dive) and maintains much better tire contact with the pavement, which is crucial in a family SUV.
