Quick-Strut 272491 Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly for Honda CR-V

Second UPDATE about 10000 miles in: I investigated the squeaking. Not the struts! A big-brand shop that did my alignment didn't torque the toe bolt for the rear right trailing arm, found it completely loose and the whole trailing arm was shifting left/right about 15 degrees. So it was clunking and squeaking when turning/suspension cycling. Got that tightened up, another alignment done, and the struts continue to be completely quiet! UPDATE about 9000 miles in: The rears have started creaking when cold out or when cycled hard. Ride is fine still, so it's getting ignored. Replaced all 4 struts with Monroe Quick-Struts on a 2007 CRV with ~160k miles. The rears were sagging pretty badly and noticeably cambered out. Would bounce and rebound over speed bumps with no load, and was like a rollercoaster with 4 people in it when hitting a whoop on the highway. Here's the deal with the installs: The fronts were pretty easy. Mind you, I did all of this on a 2-post lift. The rears sucked. Good luck doing them with a floor jack on jackstands. You'll need to have the lower control arm completely disconnected from the unibody front mount, and even then you'll have to pull down on it past maximum droop to give you enough room to get the bottom of the strut out and angled enough to pull it out. The new struts have to go in the same way, from the center of the vehicle up into the mount tunnels, so you'll be laying underneath the center of the car installing them towards the outside. Make sure you watch a couple tutorial videos before you undertake this. Otherwise they're great so far. Those that are dealing with noises probably didn't settle the struts in before torqueing the bolts. The bottoms don't really matter, but the top mounts do. Once they're installed, put the vehicle on the ground and bounce the suspension a bunch and roll it a little back and forth to get them settled, then torque the top mounts in. Do the fronts like you would lugnuts, and the rear you should do the same for the brace plates inside before you torque down the flange nuts. You WILL need at minimum a front-end alignment after these. Mine went from fine (recently aligned) to very bad toe out. I drove it that way for about 50 miles to further let everything settle, then got it aligned. Camber is great again in the front and especially the rear, and with new Moog swaybar links and bushings it drives like new.

The shipping was really fast. It was easy to put in the car. Way cheaper than the part stores. The only thing I would say to check for is the nuts. Out of the 2 that I bought one had all 5 nuts and the other one only had 4.

Box arrived with lots of damage. The Quick-strut was undamaged, but all lock nuts were missing. Because the strut had no markings indicating it is a Monroe product and the box had DRV logos, I was concerned that it came from a different manufacturer. Online images did verify this is a Monroe product, which I assume is made under license

Bought for my 2008 Honda Cr-V. I have only used Monroe shocks for this vehicle. They seem to work well and last a good amount of time.

Overall these struts are defective and are very bad quality. You may be lucky and get one that works but I bought this one and the opposite side one as well. Both were defective and within a few weeks started making noise and clunking noises. Noise could be heard inside the cabin. It sounded like something was loose. Steering also became rough. Recommend avoiding Monroe quick strut

I recently installed the Monroe Quick-Strut 272491 on my vehicle, and the difference is remarkable. The pre-assembled unit made the installation process straightforward—no need for a spring compressor. The ride quality has significantly improved; the vehicle feels stable, and road vibrations have diminished. It's reassuring to know that Monroe's design is engineered to restore factory ride height and performance. Highly recommend this product for anyone looking to enhance their vehicle's suspension system.

Este es un amortiguador y con muy buena calidad que se ajusta perfectamente a mi vehículo 🚗
