What is a Strut Assembly?

Importance of Struts

A key part of your vehicle’s suspension, struts not only perform a damping function, but they also provide structural support for the vehicle’s suspension ensuring that the tire is held in an aligned position. Handling much of the side load that is placed on the suspension, struts play an important role in the handling, control, braking, steering and wheel alignment of your vehicle.

Getting the Right Part

Depending on your application, you may have the choice between a bare strut or a strut assembly when replacing a strut on your vehicle. While a bare strut is just the strut and requires the use of a spring compressor, a strut assembly is a complete solution that is easy to install.

What Does a Strut Assembly Include?

Including everything needed for a strut repair, a strut assembly is an all-in-one solution. Also called a loaded strut assembly, complete strut assembly, quick strut or strut plus, a strut assembly includes:

• Upper strut mount
• Strut bumper and boot
• Coil spring insulators
• Coil spring
