- Restores ride height: The application-specific coil spring is calibrated to meet the OE design, engineered to restore ride height and support the vehicle's weight.
- Vehicle-specific design: Application-specific coil spring, mount and strut designs deliver ride and handling matched to this vehicle, while the premium upper strut mount helps maintain smooth steering and reduces body sway, vibration and road harshness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which vehicles does the Monroe 72730 strut fit?
It is a front-left suspension strut cataloged as a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2019 Ford Explorer. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact application for your vehicle.
Do I need a spring compressor to install this?
No. The 72730 ships as a single, fully assembled unit, so there is no need for a spring compressor during installation.
What comes in this assembly?

Should I replace both front struts at the same time?
This listing is for the front-left strut. Replacing struts as a matched pair per axle is recommended for balanced, even handling, so order the opposite side as well.
What are common signs a strut may need replacing?
Signs a strut may need replacing include increased body sway, excessive vibration, road harshness reaching the cabin, or the vehicle no longer sitting at its proper ride height. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
