Yeah, I thank my lucky star for that one. Had I not dropped the phone and the old man not seen it I would not have bothered to check that dilapidated van's front end parts. Lesson relearned: can't judge a book by its cover lol
"Evolution" seems to be the name of a model or product line rather than the manufacturer's name, if only I could figure out that logo... at first I thought it looked like a stylized M and V so thought could have been Mevotech but their actual logo does not look like that and neither do their products.
Manufacturing date for the struts is January, 2012 so they are very current. I am installing them this afternoon along with the new Moog control arms and sway bar links. The KYB "economy" parts I had used last time barely lasted a year. I have nothing against KYB they also make great quality parts but those cost more than most other brands including Monroe.
Anyway these junk yard struts really do look a lot like Quick-Struts or the KYB strut kit, and there aren't that many manufacturers who make complete strut kits so perhaps "Evolution" is some in-store brand or something similar. Gonna peel off the sticker and look underneath for kicks.
