Frequently Asked Questions:
Should I replace suspension components in pairs?
Yes, always replace shocks and struts in pairs (left and right) to ensure balanced handling, even tire wear, and consistent braking performance.
Do I need a spring compressor for installation?
No. These are complete pre-assembled strut assemblies with the coil spring already installed. No spring compressor is needed, saving significant time and eliminating safety risks.
What's included in a complete strut assembly?
Each assembly includes the strut, coil spring, upper strut mount, spring seat, dust boot, and bump stop - everything needed for a complete replacement.
What are the dimensions of these components?
Compressed length: 10.94", Extended length: 16.26", Stroke: 5.32". These match OEM specifications for proper fit and performance.
Will replacing just the front affect my alignment?
Yes, front suspension replacement typically requires a wheel alignment afterward. Budget for an alignment service to ensure proper tire wear and handling.
What warranty is included?
FCS suspension components are backed by a manufacturer warranty. Check product documentation for specific coverage terms and duration.
