In today’s modern car world it has become a fact that labor for repairs is more expensive than parts. This has led to many manufacturers building cars in a more modular fashion to lower labor costs. One of the modular assemblies that is becoming more common for popular cars is the loaded strut assembly. The idea is that while they may be a bit more expensive, the install labor and tools required are drastically reduced to lower the overall actual repair bill.
This doesn’t really even delve into the subject of the dangers involved with disassembly and reassembly of a modern MacPherson strut unit. This job could literally turn hazardous if done without proper care and equipment. A loaded strut assembly completely eliminates the need to contain the immense energy stored in the coil spring.
Our loaded struts arrive assembled making installation just a few bolts and no special tools. Avoid the dangers of spring compressors while having confidence in original or better quality components.
This assembly features the OE grade Sachs strut, springs of real Swedish steel and our own IPD HD spring seats.
