Literally pop, pop with a screwdriver and snap, snap on the new struts.
I'd wager the OEM struts are better, but not that much. I work closely with a few Tier 2 auto suppliers and the way they're squeezed on price is incredible. Finance wants margin calculations to the fraction of a penny. People would be amazed if they knew how much effort went into squeezing the entire vehicle supply chain.
The funny thing is the Stabilus logo was so small I couldn't read it, until I remembered there was a lab-grade microscope on my son's desk in the other room
I do try and buy US when I can and have a bias toward supporting local brick and mortar merchants. It costs more but is worth it. I've seen so many small businesses back home in the midwest get eaten up by the big box stores. Now main street is a ghost town with a giant Wal-Mart just on the edge of town…
