Monroe Shocks & Struts 172434 front left strut assembly for the 2007-2013 Acura MDX and other vehicles replaces the strut, spring and upper mount as one unit. It is also sold as a complete strut and coil spring assembly, and its preassembled upper mount, spring and strut use an OE-style design.
- Quick-Strut vehicle-specific design with an application-specific coil spring, mount and strut
- Coil spring is calibrated to restore ride height and support the vehicle's weight
- Reduces body sway, vibration and road harshness before it reaches the passenger cabin
- Upper strut mount helps keep steering precise and limits noise, vibration, harshness and memory steer
- Protective coating resists rust and corrosion, and salt spray testing backs it up

A worn strut can show up as a bouncy ride, nose dive under braking or fluid on the strut body. These signs alone do not prove the strut is the problem, since a worn sway bar link can produce a similar knock.
Fits
It fits the 2007-2013 Acura MDX and the 2010-2013 Acura ZDX, and the front left position needs one assembly. This listing is one side only; the front right of that axle is a separate part and is normally done at the same time.

Does this Quick-Strut assembly come with the coil spring and upper mount?

How can I tell if the front left strut is worn?
With the car parked and the engine off, look for oily fluid on the strut body. A clunk over bumps or a bouncy ride can also go with wear, and a shop can test the suspension.
Is this strut assembly gas charged or adjustable?
This strut assembly is gas charged. It is a passive design, so compression and ride height are not adjustable.
