Including all the components required for strut replacement without the need for a spring compressor, this complete strut assembly features the strut, coil spring and strut mount preassembled for easy installation. Strut assemblies perform two main jobs: perform a damping function like shock absorbers and provide structural support for the vehicle suspension by supporting the spring and holding the tire in an aligned position. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch4\u003e CAUSES \u0026amp; CONSEQUENCES OF STRUT FAILURE \u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e Like many parts on your vehicle, struts are subject to wear. The rate of wear depends on a wide range of variables, such as road and environmental conditions, your driving style and vehicle load. Causes of worn struts include damaged bushings, exposure to the elements, loss of oil viscosity and gradual degradation of internal components over time. Driving with worn struts can result in problems ranging from reduced braking efficiency, cause premature tire wear, loss of stability and damage to other suspension parts. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch4\u003e IMPORTANCE OF AN ALIGNMENT \u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e Always perform an alignment anytime replacement shocks, struts or other ride control parts are installed. Camber, toe and caster settings can all be affected by installing new struts. Failure to make sure the vehicle’s alignment is within factory specifications can lead to problems like premature tire wear. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch4\u003e IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING RIDE HEIGHT \u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e Proper ride height is crucial to vehicle durability, performance and safety. When inspecting a vehicle, don’t just check the static ride height. The dynamic ride height – the ride height of a vehicle in motion – may tell a different story. The cause of dynamic ride height issues is often worn or damaged coil springs. Don’t just replace the strut – be sure to also inspect for and replace worn coil springs. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch4\u003e HOW TO PROPERLY INSTALL A STRUT ASSEMBLY \u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e Avoid noise after installing a strut assembly with this four-step procedure. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLoosely install 1 or 2 upper mounting nuts and position lower strut mount to steering knuckle assembly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInstall lower mounting bolts and lower vehicle to the ground\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLocate manufacturer torque specifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTorque lower bolts and secure upper mounting nuts in alternating pattern\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PERFECTFITPARTSUS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41195706449964,"sku":"34b0cdba-d310-4724-b037-cd30c4a823ff","price":113.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/4960\/8236\/products\/3dbbc28e001d7426e36e31f394ab7574.jpg?v=1683125802","url":"https:\/\/perfectfitpart.com\/products\/quick-strut-171340l-strut-and-coil-spring-assembly","provider":"PERFECTFITPARTSUS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
