Monroe 171661 Quick Strut for 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix (front)
Product arrived in excellent condition, Jacked and blocked up vehicle, removed front wheels. Removed brake caliper and wired up out of the way, removed 15 mm nuts from upper mount on top of inner fender under the hood. Removed 21 mm nuts and drove out the bolts from the lower suspension with the hammer and punch. Removed the old strut assembly (DO NOT TAKE APART, under Severe Spring Tension)!! Make sure lower suspension arm doesn't drop too far when removing the old strut and be careful of the brake line, brake hose and ABS sensor and wiring. Install new quick strut assembly per the instructions that comes with them, top first, then lower end. May need to move lower suspension up or down to align strut to get the lower mounting bolts in. Use alignment punch in one of the two holes to get one bolt in (use caution and don't flatten bolt threads), then put the second bolt in. Tighten bolts and torque the nuts. Tools need are floor jack, safety jack stands or...

replaced struts on 1999 Grand Prix
Over the past year, the ride in my Grand Prix had seriously deteriorated. It would bounce more than what is reasonable just going over small bumps and would bottom out on larger bumps or potholes. It would even scrape the bottom of the car going over a speedbump in parking lots as slowly as possible. So basically my springs and struts were both worn out.I figured the easiest way to fix the problem would be to buy some preassembled struts. I've had these Monroe assemblies on the car for a few weeks and the ride is better. It doesn't bounce any more than it should and it no longer bottoms out or scrapes speedbumps. Now I just need to get it aligned!
