Focus Auto Parts Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly P/N:1345540

Help keep the back of your SUV controlled and level with the Focus Auto Parts suspension strut and coil spring assembly, part number 1345540. It is a direct-fit replacement for the rear of the 2006-2010 Ford Explorer and 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer.

The strut and coil spring arrive together as one complete strut and coil spring assembly, so the spring does not have to be compressed and moved over from the worn strut. That helps simplify the job.

• Part type: suspension strut and coil spring assembly
• Position: rear
• Manufacturer part number: 1345540
• Applications: 2006-2010 Ford Explorer and 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.

The strut dampens suspension movement, and the coil spring helps support the vehicle and hold its ride height at that corner. A rear strut may need replacing if you notice any of these signs:

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• The rear sagging or sitting low
• Fluid leaking from the strut body
• Clunking over bumps
• Uneven tire wear

If a worn strut or spring is the cause, this assembly replaces both. Replacing the struts on both sides of the axle together is commonly recommended for balanced handling.
