Suspension system

Good morning,

It would make better sense to replace the entire unit. They call it a quick strut that contains everything.

The tire should never rub the tire unless something is broken.

I attached pictures and the parts from rock auto for you to view

Strut Assembly Replacement

Removal Procedure

Notice: Use care when handling the coil springs in order to avoid chipping or scratching the coating. Damage to the coating will result in premature failure of the coil springs.

4. Disconnect the ABS front wheel speed sensor harness connector.
5. If applicable, remove the speed sensor bracket from the strut.

Notice: The knuckle must be retained after the strut-to-knuckle bolts have been removed. Failure to observe this may cause ball joint and/or wheel drive shaft damage.

6. Remove the brake line bracket from the strut on the left side.

7. Remove the strut to knuckle bolts (3) and the nuts (1).
8. Remove the strut from the vehicle.

Yes, it is a complete assembly. You just remove one and install one.

The only thing I would do additional is to have the alignment checked.

You are welcome.

Always glad to help.

Roy

No, not at all. Just the strut assemblies.
