A complete strut assembly combines the strut, coil spring, upper mount and bearing in one unit. It installs faster than rebuilding a strut and replaces every worn component at once.
Signs of Worn Struts
- Excessive bouncing or poor body control.
- Nose dive under braking.
- Fluid leaking from the strut body.
- Clunking from the upper mount.
- Uneven tire wear.
Why Replace in Pairs
Replacing struts on both sides of the axle keeps handling and ride height balanced. A new strut on one side and a worn strut on the other can make the vehicle pull or feel unstable.
Installation Tips
- Tighten fasteners to specification with the vehicle at ride height where required.
- Inspect sway bar links and control arm bushings.
- Check wheel alignment after installation.
