Monroe Shocks & Struts Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly P/N:182549
Bring firm, controlled damping back to the driver-side front corner of your 2011-2013 Ford Explorer with the Monroe Shocks & Struts Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly 172621 — a front-left unit that combines the strut and coil spring into a single preassembled assembly for the listed application.
Signs this corner assembly may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, front-end nose-dive under braking, a clunk from the front suspension, or uneven front tire wear — have the cause diagnosed, and if a worn front-left strut is behind it, this assembly replaces it. Struts tend to wear at similar rates side to side, so replacing the left and right front units together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced handling. Sold individually; this listing is for one assembly.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Which vehicle does this strut assembly fit?
It's cataloged for the front left corner of the 2011-2013 Ford Explorer. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm it matches your vehicle.
Is the coil spring included?
Yes. This is a preassembled unit combining the strut and coil spring, so the spring ships already installed on the strut.
Do I need to replace both front struts?
It's sold individually, but replacing the left and right front units together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced, even handling.
What are signs this strut may need replacing?
Excessive bouncing, front-end nose-dive under braking, a clunk from the front, or uneven front tire wear. Diagnose the cause first; if the front-left strut is worn, this replaces it.
Do I need a spring compressor to install it?
No. Because the strut and coil spring come preassembled as one unit, there's no need to compress a spring during installation.
