Take on your 2003-2008 Mazda 6 strut replacement with the Focus Auto Parts Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly, part number 1335527L, which helps the front left corner absorb bumps and support the vehicle's weight. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2008 Mazda 6 at the front left position. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
The strut dampens suspension movement as the wheel travels over the road, and the coil spring carries the vehicle's weight at that corner. Because both come as a single assembly, you install one unit and do not have to separate the old spring from the old strut.
Signs this part may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, nose dive under braking, fluid leaking from the strut, a sagging corner or uneven tire wear. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the suspension before you replace parts. Follow the vehicle service information for installation, and have the alignment checked afterward.
