Detailed Description

PRT Performance Ride 470406 is a suspension strut engineered for the rear left position on the Kia Spectra and Kia Spectra5. The dual-tube internal design supports consistent ride control, while the fixed-length body and OE-style mounting layout help match the original suspension geometry. This rear left strut is a direct-fit replacement for 2004-2009 Kia Spectra and 2005-2009 Kia Spectra5 models, making it a practical choice for restoring rear suspension performance on these vehicles. Part number 470406 is also a useful reference when sourcing the correct rear left strut for Kia Spectra and Kia Spectra5 fitment.

The PRT Suspension Strut line focuses on replacement suspension components with application-specific dimensions and mounting points. For this part, the upper bolt mount and lower bracket mount are matched to the listed vehicle applications, and the non-adjustable design keeps the setup straightforward for standard replacement work.

What It Helps Address

• Rear suspension noise from worn strut internals
• Excessive bouncing or poor damping control
• Uneven rear ride height caused by a failing strut
• Reduced stability over bumps and rough pavement
• Handling changes from a worn rear left strut assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear left fitment before installation on the listed Kia Spectra and Kia Spectra5 model years. Confirm the upper bolt mount and lower bracket mount match the vehicle’s original configuration, and compare compressed and extended lengths to the removed part. Because mounting hardware is not stated as included, reuse or source the required hardware separately as needed. Professional installation and a post-repair alignment check are recommended after suspension replacement.

Quality Assurance

PRT Performance Ride supplies suspension replacement parts built around application-specific dimensions and construction details. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
