Monroe Shocks & Struts 72969 front left suspension strut for the 2010-2013 Kia Soul controls spring and wheel movement over bumps. It is designed to restore the car's original factory drivability and performance.
A worn strut can show up as a bouncy ride, nose dive when braking or uneven tire wear. Those signs alone do not prove the strut is at fault, since a loose sway bar link can feel similar. Front struts are normally swapped as a pair, so plan on the front right too; this listing is one strut for the front left.
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2013 Kia Soul. The car takes one strut on each side of the front axle.
