2005 Subaru Outback Rear Driver & Passenger Side 2 Piece Strut & Spring Assembly Set

In the past, replacing struts required specialized tools to compress, remove and transfer the old spring and mount.  Pre-assembled with all new parts, our complete strut and spring assemblies make this job much quicker and easier for the do-it-yourself mechanic.

Each complete strut & spring assembly contains:

• Upper Strut Mount
• Strut Bearing
• Coil Spring
• Boot & Bumper Kit
• Gas-charged Strut 

Loaded strut & spring assemblies allow for a quicker, safer install than bare struts.  No spring compressor required! 

Includes the matched parts needed. New components over reused parts provide a better ride and save you from having to repair again.

Not all shocks and struts are manufactured the same.  Mixing and matching can result in ride quality issues and decrease the life of the parts.

Over buying the parts individually, or having to search different parts that are correct for your vehicle (because we did it for you!)
