Default Strut parts question

I am considering replacement Monroe struts for my TCH. Part # 72307, 72308, 72309, 72310.

I see strut mate parts 906935, 906986, 903904. I assume I would need four of the 906935, two of the 906986, and two of the 903904 parts?

Any help on these parts is appreciated.

Pretty sure you want to use the KYB's to avoid the camber problem/issue with the Monroe's.

"ukrkoz" has a detailed post on this and the associated problems using the Monroe's somewhere.


EDIT:

Here is that thread: https://www.greenhybrid.com/discuss/...effects-29205/

Yep, do NOT do Monroe. For few bucks more, really, you can have OEM KYB.
BIG difference is that KYB has 2 "lips" locking strut - and camber angle - on top of hub knuckle. With Monroe, you are solely relying on tension from strut bolts. I had to install camber bolts to be able to align camber.
Also, I do not like how Monroes ride. I am planning on replacing them with KYB-s around late spring. They didn't last long.

Hmmmm... With that being said - I speak of the rear end KYB-s. You know, I am not really sure, if they do have those lips for the front ones on KYB. Or, for that matter, original struts. I simply did not pay attention.
