✅ Vehicle Fitment
Designed for select:
-
Chevrolet Traverse
⚠ Always confirm exact year, drivetrain (FWD/AWD), and position (left or right) before ordering, as fitment can vary by configuration.
What’s Included
The Monroe Quick-Strut assembly comes fully pre-built with:
-
Premium strut (shock absorber)
-
OE-style coil spring
-
Upper strut mount
-
Bearing plate
-
Bump stop & boot
No spring compressor. No reusing worn mounts. No guessing.
Why Replace with a Complete Assembly?
High-mileage Traverses commonly experience:
-
Excessive bounce
-
Front-end dive during braking
-
Clunking over bumps
-
Uneven tire wear

Loose or wandering steering feel
Replacing just the shock while keeping a tired spring and mount is like replacing one sneaker and keeping the worn-out sole on the other. Do it once. Do it right.

Pre-sale mechanical refresh
If your Traverse has over 80k–120k miles on original suspension, this upgrade will be noticeable immediately.
Restore your car, light truck, SUV or CUV back to OE-quality ride performance and drivability with a Monroe Quick-Strut assembly. Including all the components required for strut replacement without the need for a spring compressor, this complete strut assembly features the strut, coil spring and strut mount preassembled for easy installation. Strut assemblies perform two main jobs: perform a damping function like shock absorbers and provide structural support for the vehicle suspension by supporting the spring and holding the tire in an aligned position.
CAUSES & CONSEQUENCES OF STRUT FAILURE
Like many parts on your vehicle, struts are subject to wear. The rate of wear depends on a wide range of variables, such as road and environmental conditions, your driving style and vehicle load. Causes of worn struts include damaged bushings, exposure to the elements, loss of oil viscosity and gradual degradation of internal components over time. Driving with worn struts can result in problems ranging from reduced braking efficiency, cause premature tire wear, loss of stability and damage to other suspension parts.
IMPORTANCE OF AN ALIGNMENT
Always perform an alignment anytime replacement shocks, struts or other ride control parts are installed. Camber, toe and caster settings can all be affected by installing new struts. Failure to make sure the vehicle’s alignment is within factory specifications can lead to problems like premature tire wear.
IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING RIDE HEIGHT
Proper ride height is crucial to vehicle durability, performance and safety. When inspecting a vehicle, don’t just check the static ride height. The dynamic ride height – the ride height of a vehicle in motion – may tell a different story. The cause of dynamic ride height issues is often worn or damaged coil springs. Don’t just replace the strut – be sure to also inspect for and replace worn coil springs.
HOW TO PROPERLY INSTALL A STRUT ASSEMBLY
Avoid noise after installing a strut assembly with this four-step procedure.
- Loosely install 1 or 2 upper mounting nuts and position lower strut mount to steering knuckle assembly
- Install lower mounting bolts and lower vehicle to the ground
- Locate manufacturer torque specifications
- Torque lower bolts and secure upper mounting nuts in alternating pattern

The struts were perfect! I installed some cheap ones and they only lasted about a year. Found these, installed and the car has honestly never been smoother. You do need a front end alignment when done, but it’s show room quality! 2014 Chevy Traverse.

I had both the rear shocks and these front struts with Monroe suspension parts replaced the 12 year old OEM suspension components and the rides in my 2013 GMC Acadia Denali feels like a new car again!

Easy to install and help my Acadia ride way better know

Everything Awesome!! Thank you.
Hopefully this is worth the wait! I ordered this on the 8th of October and I still have not received it! –
BUYER BEWARE!!!I wouldn’t have even given these a 1 star. I purchased a set of these on September 21, 2023. They started popping and making noise when I would turn. Contacted Amazon and they sent me over to Monroe. Monroe sent me out a replacement set on February 14, 2024. Now here we are in November of 2025 and they are bad again!The bearings are junk! The only thing Monroe wants to do to help, is send me another replacement set. That’s not happening. I’m not going to pay for a front in alignment and labor to install another pair. Two times if more than enough for me! I HIGHLY recommend you stay far away from these. I’ve also noticed the price has dropped. Wonder why that is…THEY ARE JUNK!

Fixed my problem. easy install. Pay attention to position of bottom bolt before driving bolt out, note the position of strut and try to install new strut in same position for a close alignment. Still recommend alignment but at least you can drive it.
Very Satisfied Customer –
Nice shocks
