2013 Dodge Grand Caravan - Replacement Struts

[Number_35]

A friend has a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan he bought new. It's close to 250K km now, and is due for front struts.

The owner would prefer to replace the struts with the "quick strut" style, rather than reusing the factory springs.

Of the choices shown on Rock Auto, I would likely go for the KYB units. Other thoughts? Thanks.

I have used Monroe quick struts multiple times without issue. However, they were mostly light, compact type cars. I will say they all seemed to take a month or two to break in and give a softer ride feel.

I have had a good experience with FCS Quick Struts on a Chrysler Minivan.

I've had recent bad experience with KYB (very harsh ride) and Monroe (rattling noise) on some other vehicles.

Man, I just ordered KYB a-la-carte for a '17 Sienna (appears KYB doesn't offer a quick strut for this app). I was on the fence because I don't trust KYB any longer. I almost just said screw it and ordered FCS quick struts, reasoning the owner (older lady, slow driver) would never notice any performance issues and they'd be "good enough."

I couldn't find Sachs or Mando for a '17 Sienna AWD. She can't afford OEM except maybe the present Serra sale, but sometimes Serra takes a month and I can't wait that long
