TRQ Front Strut & Coil Spring Assembly Set Driver & Passenger Sides Compatible with 05-12 Nissan Pathfinder 05-15 Xterra 09-12 Suzuki Equator

Was dubious about what a very low cost strut assembly would provide in quality, but was pleasantly surprise. Sure, the box arrived like it has been dragged behind the UPS truck the last mile, but the struts were not damaged (only the box). The only issue I had was that the new strut tower securing nuts were of a real low quality and did not have adequate coverage over the mounting holes (were smaller in diameter, despite being same thread size). So, I used my factory strut tower bolts, instead and all was well. Would buy these again, if they last 120K miles, like the factory ones did.

Fit perfect and easy to install. Also perfect ride heiight.

TRQ which stands for trusted reliable quality, has come out with this product and it’s absolutely amazing. I couldn’t believe the amount of quality was in such an affordable product. I replaced the front and back suspension on my 2005 Mazda three because they were completely worn out, After about 5000 miles of driving it since I replaced the front rear suspension it feels like a brand new car now to drive. Before I did this, I was having serious thoughts about just buying a sportier car but after changing the suspension and fixing a couple little things on it it drives amazing now. It’s amazing. What putting new suspension on your vehicle can do to the drive quality it’s amazing. If you’re thinking of using your old springs and just getting a strut, I would highly recommend rethinking that and just going with the whole new strut assembly. Seriously it’s amazing and for this price you can’t beat it. The cheapest mechanic I found at a shop wanted $655 before tax to replace the front struts without the springs so they would be reusing the old springs for $650, it only took me about 30 to 45 minutes per side changing my front struts with these and it saved me hundreds and hundreds of dollars. You could even buy these struts assemblies and bring them to one of your trusted mechanics and probably save money even that way. I’m very picky when it comes to buying stuff for my car, which would ultimately be protecting my life and safety, so it’s sometimes takes a lot for me to recommend something so highly. But this is an excellent product. No doubt pinky swear.

After about 14 months of use I took my Murano in for an alignment and was told that both front struts were bad. I contacted the seller A1 and they shipped me a new set of struts which I installed.To continue the limited lifetime warranty, I was to return the original struts. I boxed them up addressed the package in order to ship them back. This was at the beginning of the Pandemic and I had just lost my job, so I was not in the position to spend about $40 to return the struts. Several months later, I had to move everything out of my storage space and no longer had room to store the original struts. I still couldn't afford to return them, So I had no choice but to discard them.Fast forward a couple of months, I began having a rattling noise in the front driver's side of my vehicle especially on bumpy roads. It several weeks for me to finally identify the problem.On my Murano, the top of the strut is not visible unless the strut is removed, hence my difficulty identifying the source of the problem.What had happened is that the self locking aircraft nut on the top of the driver's side strut had become lose and the top of the strut shaft began moving up and down and causing severe damage to the top of the strut shaft and the metal top of the strut which holds down the spring. See the attached photos.As you can see the top of the strut shaft has been worn away by about 40%.I had no choice but to reassemble the strut and make sure that the nut was tight and secured with thread locker. This has rectified the noise problem, however I am now driving a vehicle with structural damage to a key suspension part that could snap at anytime!I contacted A1 and because I cannot return the original struts, they refuse to warrant the current struts, and my warranty is now void.If I could afford it, I would buy new struts from a reputable company and replace them. Unfortunately I'm still unemployed and cannot afford to.So thank you very much A1 for your understanding, compassion and top notch customer service! (To be clear, that is sarcasm.)

These Struts went on very easily it took 15-20 min a side with all the correct tools which honestly isn’t many. the ride height was restored and the ride was a little harsh to begin with but after a short time they settled in & are much better. The SUV handles like new. I was a little hesitant to purchase them but I’m glad I did. I just took a vacation trip in this vehicle and it drove & handled perfectly on twisty mountain roads highways Turnpikes and harsh rock roads, dirt and uneven terrain wasn’t even noticeable. No leakage / no odd noises or sounds / 07 Equinox tires was checked & rotated after the long trip they found no signs of wear/cupping or anything unusual. I would purchase these again with no hesitation. They was installed July 20th 2024 it’s now October/22/24 3months no issues. This vehicle is regularly maintenanced and has been consistently serviced & maintained since I purchased it. it now has over 200k miles on it, it’s a daily driver, runs perfectly, I have the tires rotated ever 2 oil changes, I will update this if any issues arise on these struts.

Perfect product and price

The price and quality seem to match. They were easy to install in a 2014 Honda CRV. The car has a lot less noise and the ride is much much better. I will write a follow-up review another time after we have driven the car for a while.

Great strut. Pre assembled for easy installation.
