Refresh the rear suspension with this 2015-2021 Subaru WRX strut assembly from Focus Auto Parts, part number 1355059, which pairs the strut and coil spring in one unit. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2015-2021 Subaru WRX. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-specific details.
A strut assembly does two jobs at its corner of the vehicle. The coil spring helps support the vehicle's weight, and the strut dampens the spring's movement to help control bounce and body motion. Because this Focus Auto Parts suspension strut is a complete strut and coil spring assembly, the spring arrives already fitted to the strut, so you don't have to compress the old spring and move it over.
- Part type: Suspension strut and coil spring assembly
- Position: Rear
- Pre-assembled: Strut and coil spring come together as one unit
- Direct fit: Replaces the rear strut assembly on the listed applications
Signs the rear struts may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, a sagging rear ride height, fluid leaking from the strut body, knocking from the rear over rough roads, and uneven tire wear. These signs can also have other causes, so diagnose the problem before replacing parts. If a worn strut is the cause, this assembly replaces it. Replacing struts in pairs on the same axle is recommended for balanced handling.
