What position is this unit for?
This is the front-left corner assembly. It's built as a side-specific part number, so order the matching unit for the opposite corner if needed.
What does a strut assembly do?
A strut helps support vehicle weight, sets ride height, acts as the steering pivot, and helps control stability, and can affect electronic crash-avoidance systems.
Should I replace both sides together?
Replacing struts in matched pairs is a common best practice for balanced ride and handling. This listing covers one front-left corner unit; order the opposite side separately if needed.
