Question regarding installation-struts and mounts

[jordan]

My 2000 Alero. I was going to replace my old struts with new Monroe Sensa-Tracs. I want to know if I must put heavy duty grease on the mounts and spring seat, etc (contact points) when assembling the strut assembly. If I don't, will clunking noises over bumps be heard? Or is a dry fit the proper way to assemble it.

Also what type of grease would be good sufficient??

I tried to get monroe sensatrac's for my 03 Alero but they dont make them? So I got kyb's

I didn't put any grease on mine when i installed my new springs. And there is no sound.

no grease is needed at all...... jsut make sure the springs are seated correctly in the struts.

and get kyb's....... they are tons better than the monroes
