Take the danger and guesswork out of strut replacement with the Monroe Quick-Strut 172261 Front Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly. This fully assembled front unit drops in as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2006-2009 Ford Fusion, 2007-2009 Lincoln MKZ, and 2006-2009 Mercury Milan — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine-level details. As a complete strut and coil spring assembly, it bundles the strut, application-specific coil spring, and preassembled upper mount into one ready-to-install package, so no spring compressor is required.
- Quicker, safer, complete repair: everything needed for front strut replacement in a single, fully assembled unit.
- Designed to restore ride height: the application-specific coil spring is calibrated to the OE design to help support the vehicle's weight.
- Vehicle-specific design: coil spring, mount, and strut are engineered for ride and handling tuned to this vehicle profile.
- OE-style build: preassembled upper mount, coil spring, and strut for OE-style fit, form, and function; the premium upper mount helps deliver smooth steering and reduces noise, vibration, and harshness.

Which vehicles does the 172261 fit?

Do I need a spring compressor to install this?
No. The 172261 ships as a single, fully assembled front unit, so a spring compressor is not required for the strut replacement.
Should I replace struts in pairs?
This listing is for one front assembly. Replacing both front struts together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced, even ride and handling.
What signs suggest my front struts may need replacing?
Excessive body sway, bouncing, increased road harshness, uneven tire wear, or nose dive when braking can indicate worn struts. Have the cause diagnosed before ordering.
