Critical fitment warning: The source states “All Models” for both vehicle ranges but does not provide engine, transmission, body style, trim, ABS, production date, suspension package, or ride-height details. Confirm the VIN, exact model year, original left and right strut references, lower mounting geometry, brake-hose and ABS-wire brackets, upper-mount pattern, spring configuration, and vehicle ride height before ordering. Modified, lowered, or raised vehicles are not confirmed.

The suffixes identify left- and right-designated source references. Match both original sides, mounting points, brackets, spring shape, and upper-mount orientation before installation.

Installation Notes

Suspension service affects steering, braking, alignment, and vehicle stability and should be performed by a qualified technician. Replace front struts in axle pairs as supplied. Compare each assembly with the original side before installation, including overall length, lower mounting, upper-stud pattern, spring seating, brake-hose bracket, ABS-wire routing, and left/right orientation.

Inspect the control arms, ball joints, tie-rod ends, sway-bar links and bushings, steering knuckles, wheel bearings, tires, and fasteners. Follow the Acura or Honda service procedure for lifting, installation, tightening at the specified suspension position, and torque values. Do not loosen or disassemble a compressed coil spring unless using approved spring-compression equipment and procedures. After installation, perform a professional wheel alignment and verify ride height, steering response, brake-hose and ABS-wire clearance, and the absence of abnormal noise before road use.
