Help steady the front end of a 1999-2005 Chevrolet Cavalier or 1999-2005 Pontiac Sunfire with the Focus Auto Parts Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly, part number 1332320, a Cavalier strut assembly built as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. For engine details, see the "Vehicles it fits" section.
A strut pairs a damper, which controls spring motion, with a structural suspension member. The coil spring supports the vehicle's weight at that corner. This complete strut and coil spring assembly arrives with the spring already fitted to the strut. It is designed to make the job simpler than compressing the old spring and moving it onto a new strut.
- Assembly: Suspension strut and coil spring combined in one unit.
- Position: Front.
- Part number: Focus Auto Parts 1332320.
Signs a strut may need replacing include:
- Excessive bouncing after bumps
- Nose-dive under braking
- Fluid leaking from the strut body
- Clunking over bumps
- Uneven tire wear
- A front corner that sits lower than the other
Tires, bushings and other suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. If a worn strut is the problem, this Focus Auto Parts suspension strut replaces it. Replacing both front struts together is recommended for balanced ride and handling. Follow the vehicle service information for the installation procedure and correct fasteners, and have the wheel alignment checked afterward.
