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.

Re: Strut parts question
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.

Re: Strut parts question
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.
