Take the guesswork and spring compressor out of your front strut job with the Monroe Quick-Strut 172946 Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly. This front left, fully assembled unit drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2015 Mazda 5, bundling the strut, coil spring, and upper strut mount into one ready-to-install package.
- Complete, preassembled unit: Includes the components needed for strut replacement in a single, fully assembled unit, with no need for a spring compressor.
- Vehicle-specific design: Application-specific coil spring, mount, and strut designs are engineered to restore factory ride height and support the vehicle's weight.
- OE-style build: Preassembled upper strut mount, coil spring, and strut feature an OE-style design for fit, form, and function.
- Helps maintain control: Designed to reduce body sway, vibration, and road harshness before it reaches the cabin, with a premium upper mount intended to support smooth steering.
A protective coating resists rust and corrosion, and salt spray testing helps verify it's ready for the elements. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and the exclusive Feel the Difference™ Guarantee. Signs your original strut may need replacing include excessive bounce, a sagging or uneven ride height, clunking on acceleration or over uneven pavement, and noticeable vibration.
