After twice installing quick struts and still hearing ping noises and rough ride my mechanic called Monroe and they said they fixed the issue and would send 2 new ones.
First off-why didn't they recall the defective products?
Well, they installed these 'fixed' quick struts and wouldn't you know it, same problem. The springs are just not the right size.
Now he has to order the springs from Chevy.

I've been going though this for over a month now and wasted numerous days off and grief.
Monroe should be sued for this. I'm not sure which agency to contact but I am going to file a complaint against them.

I won't trust Monroe again

Thanks for the heads up. It's "Monro" by the way........

Damn sorry to hear that bro I hope everything works out tho thanks for the heads up too

lol not its not, its monroe

It's Monroe.
No problem, i don't want anyone to go through what I am.
My mechanic is trying to get their money back plus labor costs. I am going to call Monroe as well and see if i can get anything back from them for this aggravation but I doubt it. In that case i will file a complaint with the BBB and Attorney general.
Next week they are going to order kyb struts and install those instead.

Thanks for the heads up, I was going to get some... Not any more. Sorry for your aggony...

Thanks. As long as i can get even one of you guys to avoid what I'm going through than I'm happy.
Should be getting the kyb's installed on Wednesday. I'll let you know how they are.

Yes please! I was also looking at those. Any help would be appreciated!

I just had them installed. They had to use some kind of plate from the quick struts but they said it wasn't an important piece and shouldn't affect anything (its not the mounting plate).
I only drove it local and not on the freeway yet, so far so good. It feels fine to me.
I will post here again after I drive it some more

This is why if you want to upgrade or even replace you should go to crate depot and get the SS struts that work ten times better and they only cost 300.
