Benefits of Using Fully Assembled Struts, Complete Strut Kits or a Quick Strut Assembly
What are Quick Struts?
A lot of people wonder what a quick strut assembly really is? So, we’ll start by answering that question first. Quick Install Complete Strut Assemblies are designed as a single unit, ready to install replacement for the existing strut assembly components of your vehicle. A Quick Install Complete Strut Assembly includes all the components required for strut replacement in one fully-assembled unit. These complete units feature a pre-assembled replacement bearing plate, upper and lower spring isolators, upper spring seat, coil spring, dust boot kit, and a nitrogen-filled strut. The full Strut Assembly is designed to not only save time on installation by eliminating the need for disassembly of the existing components and the required compressing of the coil spring prior to installation but it also eliminates the requirement of special tools and allows for the safe and easy removal of the coil spring for Do it Yourselfers looking to save a few dollars on their auto repairs.
Why is Quick Strut Replacement so Important?
The strut's basic function is to maintain the balance and safety of your car. Not only do they provide a more comfortable ride, but they also play a significant role in the control and handling of your vehicle. If your struts are worn out or damaged your car will almost seem to bounce uncontrollably – this obviously makes for both an uncomfortable and potentially dangerous ride. While quick install complete strut assemblies are not available for all makes and models there is good coverage on most of the popular cars on the road today.
Will you Need a Complete Front Strut Assembly or its Rear Variant?
Most cars and trucks are equipped with struts in the front and shocks in the rear – although some vehicles do come equipped with both rear and front struts. It is important to the overall ride and safety of your vehicle that the struts be maintained and changed immediately if required. Even under normal driving conditions, your car struts will gradually wear out but there are many factors that may accelerate the rate of which the wear occurs, including but not limited to, excessive driving on bumpy roads or on heavily salted roads where the strut assembly is more prone to corrosion. Another important consideration is the fact that worn out struts not only affect the comfort and ride of your vehicle they can also have a negative impact on safe braking.
Which Strut Parts Will you Find in Fully Pre-Loaded Struts?
A typical quick install complete strut assembly is a direct fit and ready to install. Each unit is designed and tuned for vehicle specific applications. As previously noted, quick install complete strut assemblies include a strut, coil spring (when applicable), strut mount, boot, bumper kit, spring seat, and isolator. They are painted in rust-resistant, powder-coated paint and come with a neoprene dust boot. The interior strut is nitrogen gas charged.
