Front Strut Assembly for 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator - Focus 1345950

Help keep your front suspension steady and controlled with the Focus Auto Parts suspension strut, part number 1345950. It is a front strut and coil spring assembly and a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.

The strut and coil spring come as one unit. The coil spring helps support the vehicle's weight at that corner. The strut dampens the spring's movement to help control body motion over bumps and dips. Because the spring is already paired with the strut, you don't need to transfer the old spring onto a new strut during the swap.

• Position: front
• Design: strut and coil spring supplied together as a single assembly
• Replacement type: direct-fit replacement for the listed applications
• Installation: installs as one unit in place of the original strut and spring

Signs a front strut assembly may need replacing include:

• excessive bouncing after bumps
• nose-diving under braking
• fluid leaking from the strut body
• sagging ride height
• uneven tire wear
• knocking over rough pavement

Tires, bushings and other suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. Replacing both front assemblies together is recommended for balanced handling, and a wheel alignment check after installation is good practice. Consult the vehicle service information for torque values and for whether the original fasteners may be reused.
