These struts are junk, the metal is thin, they are lightweight. I installed the struts and immediately they caused all sorts of popping and clicking. I removed the struts and checked the bearing on them and it is so tight it can barely move. This is the cause of the popping and clicking. Both struts are this way. I pulled them out, put the OEM struts back and all is well again. Save yourself the DRAMA of dealing with trying to return these and also doing double the work, steer clear.
