A few years ago I replaced worn out trunk struts on the '94 Accord. Got Monroes. A name brand, right? I started this journey again because one of the Monroes leaked and stopped working.
And they never worked as well as OEM. Harder to lift the trunk lid while also harder to shut the trunk. An engineering feat if ever there was one.
I saw a similar comment left on Amazon for the "StrongArm" brand. I'm perhaps starting to understand why the OEM struts are like $77 apiece ...
Anyway, at another online retailer I see brands like FEQ, Stabilus, PartsMaster. No doubt there are others. Does it matter?
