Help keep the rear of your car settled and controlled with the Focus Auto Parts suspension strut assembly, part number 1345471L. This rear left strut and coil spring assembly is a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2010 Scion tC. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
The strut damps suspension movement, and the coil spring helps support the vehicle at that corner. Because both come as one assembled unit, you don't have to move the spring over from the old strut during the replacement.
Signs a strut assembly may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, fluid leaking from the strut body, a corner that sits lower than the others, knocking over rough pavement and uneven tire wear. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the problem before replacing parts. Replacing both rear struts at the same time is commonly recommended for even, balanced handling. Follow the vehicle service information for installation steps and torque values.
