Aftermarket parts these days are low quality across the board. Cardone made good pumps in the past but AAP, Autozone, etc, dumped them for their junky Chinese...

    New Moog Quick Struts- Clunking, Banging, Creaking

    I was thinking perhaps going with the Monroe Reflex QS but with a OEM Mopar strut mount and bearing, as the old coil springs have a lot of miles on them.
