Take the guesswork out of front strut service with the KYB Strut-Plus Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly SR4468, a complete front-left corner unit that arrives pre-assembled with the strut, upper mount, and coil spring ready to install. It fits the 2012-2017 Jeep Compass and 2012-2017 Jeep Patriot — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. A strut assembly carries vehicle weight, sets ride height, and serves as a steering pivot, so a worn one is designed to be replaced as a matched unit like this.
- Front-left corner assembly: Includes a KYB Excel-G strut with a stronger steel outer shell and KYB's application-specific precision-designed damping valves.
- Application-engineered spring: High-carbon steel coil spring developed for the vehicle's attributes and corner weights to help maintain ride height within OE specifications.
- Side-specific design: Left and right part numbers use side-specific components, as the vehicle manufacturer intended.
- Safety-system aware: Engineered to help vehicles equipped with electronic safety systems such as ESC and ABS.
Assembled in the USA and engineered for exact fitment, the Strut-Plus is designed to help restore original handling and control on the listed applications.
