Bring back a smooth, controlled ride with the Monroe Quick-Strut 272621 Front Left Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly, a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2013 Ford Explorer (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications). This vehicle-specific, front-left assembly arrives fully preassembled, so you replace the worn unit without a spring compressor.
Fit checked, ride tested and engineered to help restore factory ride height and ride performance, it bundles the components you need for the repair into a single unit:
- All-in-one assembly: preassembled upper strut mount, application-specific coil spring and strut for a quicker, safer install with no spring compressor.
- Restores 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 designs are matched to this vehicle profile for optimized ride and handling.
- Maintains control: helps reduce body sway, vibration and road harshness; the premium upper mount helps deliver smooth steering and reduce noise, vibration and memory steer.
- Rust resistance: a protective coating resists rust and corrosion, backed by salt spray testing.
