Help restore controlled handling and proper ride height with the KYB Strut-Plus Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly (SR4655), a complete front-right corner unit that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2012 Ford Explorer (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications). A strut assembly helps support vehicle weight, sets ride height, serves as the steering pivot, and contributes to vehicle stability — this pre-assembled unit combines the strut, mount, and spring in one ready-to-install package.
- OE-Restoring design: built on an Original Equipment Restoring 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 springs developed around the vehicle's attributes and corner weights to help keep ride height within OE specifications.
- Complete corner unit: strut, mount, and spring pre-assembled for exact fitment and professional installation.
- Safety-system aware: engineered to help support vehicles with electronic safety systems (ESC, ABS, etc.).
If a worn front-right strut is behind poor ride quality, excess body movement, or reduced control, this KYB corner assembly replaces it. Assembled in the USA. Struts work as a matched pair — replacing both sides on the same axle together is recommended for balanced handling.
