Product Details

PRT Performance Ride’s Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly line focuses on complete front suspension service parts that match the original mounting style and geometry of the vehicle. Part number 811045L is built with a steel housing and a TDCrSi coil spring, and it uses a bolt-style upper mount with a bracket-hole lower mount for the specified front left applications. The included dust shield adds protection for the strut shaft area during normal road use.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Front-end noise from a worn strut assembly
• Uneven ride height caused by a fatigued coil spring

Professional suspension service procedures are recommended, including proper spring handling and alignment checks after replacement.
