Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles does the Monroe 172243 fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2003 Subaru Baja and 2000-2004 Subaru Outback. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your specific vehicle.
Which position is this strut assembly for?
The 172243 is the front left (driver-side) Quick-Strut assembly. Struts are typically replaced in pairs, so consider replacing the opposite side for balanced ride and handling.

No. The Quick-Strut arrives with the coil spring, upper strut mount, and strut preassembled as a single unit, so no spring compressor is required.
What's included in the assembly?
It comes as a fully assembled unit with the coil spring, premium upper strut mount, and strut, providing the components needed for the strut replacement in one part.
What are signs my strut assembly may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive body sway, increased vibration or road harshness, uneven ride height, or noise from the strut. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
