Planning a strut replacement on a 2000-2005 Toyota RAV4? The Focus Auto Parts Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly, part number 2331604L, puts the strut and coil spring together in one unit for the front left corner. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, the 2000-2005 Toyota RAV4. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
The strut is the suspension's damper: it controls the up-and-down motion of the wheel, while the coil spring helps support the vehicle's weight at that corner. Because this strut assembly comes with the coil spring already on the strut, the old spring does not need to be moved onto a new strut.
- Position: Front left.
- Assembly: Strut and coil spring supplied together as one assembly.
- Pairing: The front right side is a separate part. Replacing both front struts together is recommended for balanced handling.
- Part number: This Focus Auto Parts suspension strut is part number 2331604L.
A strut may need replacing if you notice excessive bouncing after bumps, nose dive under braking, fluid leaking from the strut body, clunking over bumps, a sagging corner or uneven tire wear. Other suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. A wheel alignment check is recommended after installation.
