2010 v6: why can't i find rear shocks/struts?? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm preparing to replace all shocks and struts. The front replacements I easily found and purchased as Monroe quick struts (shock/strut + coil spring assembled as one) but for some reason I can't find a similar loaded strut assembly for the rear from ACDELCO or Monroe (the only two names I was expecting to buy from).

Are there any brands that you can recommend for rear shock/strut/coil spring assemblies? I was able to find what I need offered by:

FCS
Duralast (autozone)
TRQ
Truedrive

Or if you've got another brand in mind? Consider that I'm really only interested in a reliable, OEM-type loaded strut... and less interested in specialty stuff like adjustable or parts focused on high performance/racing. It's my daily!

Rock Auto has both FCS & Monroe as OE replacement choices.

I would read up on FCS before buying them.

And I have never been a fan of Monroe stuff, based on experience with that brand on another vehicle.

I'm about to replace my front strut mounts due to aging rubber and deterioration and might as well upgrade the front struts that are 12 years old but have low miles. I chose the Koni orange STR.

Good luck with your choice.
