Replacing struts used to require specialized tools to compress, remove, and transfer the old spring and mount. Our Pre-assembled, complete strut & spring assemblies come with all new parts and make the job much quicker and easier for the do-it-yourself mechanic.

Install Tip: To keep your vehicle operating safely and as designed:
Replace your shocks & struts in pairs. This will avoid mixing parts (old and new or brands). Mixing parts can cause variations in movement between the vehicle’s body and wheel, resulting in handling irregularities.
Have an alignment performed after replacing your shocks and struts. This will ensure proper tracking and protect your vehicle’s tires from premature wear.
