Monroe Shocks & Struts Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly P/N:173052
Monroe Shocks & Struts 172531 front right strut assembly for the 2008-2009 Ford Taurus and other vehicles combines the strut, coil spring and upper mount in one unit. As a complete strut and coil spring assembly, it is fit checked and ride tested for its application.
A worn strut assembly can show up as a bouncy ride, clunking over bumps or fluid on the strut body. Tires and other suspension parts can also cause a rough or noisy ride, so with the car parked and the engine off, start by looking for a wet strut body or a cracked spring. This listing is one strut assembly for the front right; the front left is a separate part, and both are normally replaced together. The car takes one on each side of the front axle.
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2009 Ford Taurus and the 2008-2009 Mercury Sable.
