Does the rear strut come preassembled, or will I have to get the spring onto the strut myself?

Comes pre assembled and ready to install. Replaced both rear shocks in about 1 hour

the Monroe #90007 is not a strut. It is a replacement kit for the original air shocks that came on the car. The springs and shocks do not go together like a strut. There is a overload spring that comes premounted on the shock.

The Rear struts are preassembled. Depending on your car, you just need to remove a nut at the top and bottom of the existing strut and replace with the new strut. I suggest googleing your car and the strut ex. 2006 Chevy Malibu Replace Rear Strut. I usually find helpful instructions for repair jobs. Good luck and be careful!

It comes all assembled. I can really feel the difference in the ride. I'm satisfied with my purchase

Minor assembly. Just pay attention to how the old ones come off. Very simple. The springs are on the struts. Make sure the rub guards are in the right place if not the struts will rattle and squeak. I bought 2 sets and one set came with the rub guards too high and they are a pain to have to listen to sqeak and rattle on every little bump in the road. They are on my work car so i put up with it and just badmouth monroe every chance i get, like now.

Yes Tammy. Everything you need to install the helper springs is included (with the exception of the tools of course). Note: When I go over speed bumps, there is a chattering noise that I never heard before I installed this product. May be due to the fact that I did not tighten them down that much when I installed them.

No it comes as a complete set. The Bulstein set up uses your stock spring I believe.

The strut has four recessed channels at various heights along it. Prior to installing, you select how much lift you want 0-2" or so and put the snap ring in the slot. The spring support sits on that snap ring and, voila, you have you lift or no lift strut. The biggest disadvantage is that, once installed, you cannot adjust the height unless you take the whole strut off. It also puts a bit more load on your stock springs if you use one of the lifted slots so the ride might be more stuff.

This is for just one strut. If you need all four. you need the Front Right; Front Left; rear right; and rear left. They are all unique. YOu are on the right track, installing the complete unit is the way to go. Less dangerous as well. ( the spring is under heavy pressure)

The three bolt top hats do not come with the struts. They are however, re-usable. Check to make sure that they spin freely. OEM springs work just fine.

This kit replaces the rear air bags with a single coil spring on each side. They are not pre-assembled because it is not that type of spring. The spring isolator or damper is simply placed on top of it before it is put in place. The "shocks" in this kit are not "struts", so again not pre-assembled. It is very straightforward though, and a complete kit for a 4x2, with rear air bags and coil springs up front OE.

On mine, it is just a spring loaded pin. You push it in with a small punch, and pull it all out as an assembly. Only the rear needed to be punched all the way out.

it is 80% assembled from the factory. you just need to install front wheel and handle bar at arrival.

Clamps come with it but you should buy new spring bolts for it, they're not included

This is for the rear and is very easy to put on. The only modification I made is I shaved 3" to 4" off the mounting bolts that wrap around the spring.

The front is by far easier, took me 2 1/2 hrs for both sides start to finish. The rear fought me a little bit! Spent an additional 2hrs ! Not required but a spring compressor makes life so much easier for the rear. At first attempted to do it without one and decided against it...good luck !

The struts come as shown, you have to rent a spring compressor to transfer springs to new struts. If your not mechanically inclined to do this job, don't attempt to do it. Springs under this much pressure is dangerous. You do not need to buy new springs unless you want new springs.

The coils / struts (aka shocks) comes as a complete assembly .... So no putting things together .... Just take old assembly off and bolt new one in ..... If you are talking about rear shocks .... Sure you can use whatever

No, when you order these they come assembled as complete units to replace both air struts. The factory springs remain on the car.

It took us 2-3hrs to assemble. There were 2- 4 of us putting it together. It does take some strong elbow grease when it comes to putting the springs on.
