Rear Left Complete Strut Assembly for 00-05 Neon - ReadyMount

In this review of the ReadyMount Rear Left Complete Strut Assembly for the Chrysler and Dodge Neon, the bottom line is simple: it is for DIY mechanics and owners of 2000-2005 Neon models who want a quicker, safer replacement without spring compression tools. The reviewer found the preassembled Gabriel Ultra ReadyMount saves time on installation and delivers a noticeable improvement in ride quality and fit, making it a practical choice for routine suspension replacement on the specified Neon fitments.

Key Features

• Preassembled Complete Unit: The strut arrives with upper mount, boot, bumper, coil spring and Ultra strut already installed to reduce installation time and eliminate spring compression.
• Direct Fitment: Specifically designed to fit a range of Chrysler and Dodge Neon years and trims for a precise replacement without modification.
• Durable Construction: Gabriel supplies a fully loaded assembly intended for long term use and consistent ride performance after installation.
• Installation Convenience: The ReadyMount format avoids special tools, making it suitable for backyard or home garage replacement jobs.
• OE Replacement Specification: Built to match original equipment dimensions such as stroke and collapsed length for intended ride and clearance.

Who It's For

This product is best for owners of 2000-2005 Dodge Neon and 2000-2002 Chrysler/Plymouth Neon variants who need a rear left strut replacement and prefer a preassembled, ready-to-install unit to save time and reduce labor complexity. It is also a good match for independent mechanics who service these Neon years and want an OE-style replacement component.

It is not the ideal choice for drivers of other makes or model years outside the listed fitment, nor for those seeking adjustable or performance-tuned coilover solutions - this is a direct OE-style replacement focused on fit, safety and convenience rather than custom handling upgrades.

Pros & Cons
