Seized Struts?????
Thursday, May 05, 2005 5:47 AM
I just put in a brand new set of Monroe Sensitraks last night and 3 out of 4 worked perfectly, however, the rear drivers side strut is seized or something. When I have the car jacked, the strut fully extends, let the car down it sits at normal ride height but then when you simulate a bump ( push down on the quarter panal ) the strut compresses and will not return back to standard ride height. I keeps that spring compressed.

The spring \ strut is not rubbing or catching on anything, so I am not sure what the deal is.

Any ideas as to what might have happened?
Defective strut?
Worn out spring?

i dont think it has anything to do w/ the spring. if the strut isnt coming back up there is something wrong w/ the strut itself. call monroe and talk to them about it. tell them you got them new and the one strut does not work properly.
