Focus Auto Parts Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly P/N:2345844

Replace a worn rear strut and its coil spring in one job with the Focus Auto Parts suspension strut, part number 2345844. This Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly is a direct-fit replacement for the listed 2011-2017 Jeep Compass and 2011-2017 Jeep Patriot applications.

The strut damps the up-and-down motion of the rear suspension. The coil spring helps support the vehicle's weight and holds ride height. Because the two come together as one assembly, you do not need to move the old spring onto a new strut during replacement.

• Strut and coil spring together: supplied as a single assembly to simplify rear strut replacement.
• Rear position: cataloged for the rear suspension on the listed applications.
• Direct-fit application: listed for the 2011-2017 Jeep Compass and 2011-2017 Jeep Patriot. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
• Replace in pairs: replacing both rear sides at the same time is recommended so the left and right sides match.

Signs a rear strut assembly may need replacing include:

• excessive bouncing after bumps
• fluid leaking from the strut body
• a sagging or uneven rear ride height
• knocking noises over bumps
• uneven tire wear

Other suspension parts can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct installation procedure, fasteners and torque specifications.
