Product Details
KYB Strut-Plus SR4658 is built for the 2011-2012 Ford Explorer, front left, where the strut assembly carries vehicle weight, sets ride height, serves as a steering pivot, and contributes to stability. As an original equipment supplier, KYB applies OE-based engineering to help return the Ford Explorer’s front suspension to proper height and control. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
The Strut-Plus line combines a matched strut and coil spring in one assembly to simplify replacement of worn front suspension components. For Ford Explorer SR4658 applications, the assembly is built to support consistent handling characteristics and restore the suspension geometry associated with the original setup.
What It Helps Address
- Front-end sag or reduced ride height
- Excessive bounce or poor damping response
- Loose or unstable steering feel
- Uneven front suspension stance
- Worn strut and spring components on the 2011-2012 Ford Explorer
Installation Notes
Compatible with 2011-2012 Ford Explorer, front left. Verify position, year, and suspension configuration before installation. Because this is a complete strut and spring assembly, it is commonly used when replacing a worn front strut and coil spring together on the Ford Explorer. Confirm all mounting points and alignment requirements after installation.
