Acting like a shock absorber, the strut assembly integrates a number of suspension parts such as the coil spring, spring seats, shock absorber, strut bearing and steering knuckle. Used in front wheel-drive vehicles, the strut assembly is used as alternative to upper suspension arm-a shorter lateral arm for inducing negative camber as the suspension jounces. When your vehicle turns, a positive camber is obtained on the outer wheel. The outer wheel also jounces, resulting to a negative camber gain. The strut assembly is tasked to balance these two effects to cancel out and keep the tire perpendicular to the ground, thus protecting the outer wheel that endures the weight transfer. Performing a tough job, your vehicle's strut assembly will periodically wear out and need to be replaced. Auto Parts Deal has the best strut assembly to replace your stock. You need this product when your vehicle's stock strut assembly shows any of the following symptoms:
