In this review of the TRQ Front and Rear Complete Strut Assembly & Shock Absorber Kit, the bottom line is simple: this 4 piece kit is for Elantra owners who want a full, direct-fit replacement that restores ride comfort without custom work. The reviewer found the kit delivers a clear improvement in body control and smoothness because the front units are fully loaded pre-assembled struts and the rear are matched shock absorbers. This review focuses on fitment, installation effort, and real-world ride changes for 2011-16 Hyundai Elantra sedans.

Key Features

• Complete 4 piece kit: Includes two front strut and spring assemblies plus two rear shock absorbers so both axles are renewed in one service.
• Loaded front struts: Pre-assembled struts include bearing plate, spring isolators and boot kit to save time and avoid spring compressing during installation.
• Application specific design: Direct replacement fit for 2011-16 Elantra sedans means no modifications are necessary for correct installation.
• Matched components: Front and rear parts are matched to restore original ride feel, reduce body sway, and improve vibration control.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at DIYers and independent shops servicing 2011-2016 Hyundai Elantra sedans who prefer a full-axle refresh rather than replacing single units. It is especially appropriate for owners noticing increased body roll, vibration, or a less controlled ride and who want parts that are pre-assembled to reduce shop time.

Drivers who want OE-matching longevity and straightforward direct-fit parts will appreciate the pre-loaded front struts and matched rear shocks. Those who require manufacturer-specific performance tuning or performance-oriented dampers should look elsewhere, as this kit focuses on restoring standard ride and comfort rather than sport handling.
