Installing MOOG Complete Strut Assemblies will help restore ride height, improve vehicle dynamics, and provide a smoother ride. The coil spring configuration on the MOOG Complete Strut Assembly meets OE specification for spring rate and ride height. In some cases, the spring incorporated in the MOOG Complete Strut Assembly may differ visually from the worn spring it replaces--but each MOOG strut assembly is designed and manufactured to deliver like-new handling and restore vehicle ride-height to factory specifications.

Solves Leaking and Worn Struts with a Triple Piston Seal

Over time, debris can enter the seal cavity of your struts and lead to premature wear of both the main seal and the piston rod. This causes the strut to leak hydraulic fluid. Fluid loss will lead to further problems, including product failure. Pressure spikes are another common issue, causing a rapid rise in the static pressure of the strut’s hydraulic fluid. These spikes are caused by shock loads from rough roads or a single forceful road impact, such as hitting a pothole. Pressure spikes can force fluid past the main seal, resulting in fluid leakage.

Featuring a Triple Protection Seal, with an (1) outer wiper seal, (2) MOOG main seal, and (3) PTFE buffer seal

The problem-solving MOOG Triple Piston Seal offers dual protection against leaks and wear for the enhanced main seal, resulting in longer life:

1. The Outer Wiper Seal cleans the piston rod, preventing contaminants from entering the strut and damaging the main seal.
2. The MOOG Main Seal is a one-piece molded design featuring twin seal lips, optimizing sealing performance and durability.
3. An exclusive inner PTFE Buffer Seal absorbs high-pressure fluid spikes caused by rough road impact, improving the efficiency of the main seal for longer seal life.

A Smoother, Quieter Ride

Tested to one million cycles under extreme load, the powerful spring in each MOOG strut ensures smoother operation, optimal performance and an extended lifetime. A jounce bumper at the top of the piston is molded from micro-cellular polyurethane and absorbs harsh, damaging road impact and noise, for quieter driving. The one-piece, over-molded PTFE piston band contributes to a quieter, smoother ride.

Robust Brackets and Attachment Points

MOOG struts' attachment points and brackets are reinforced to further enhance component integrity and durability.

O.E. Equivalent Lower Mounting Hardware Included

Vehicle age and/or environmental conditions can cause the lower strut mounting bolts to be rusted and difficult to remove. During the removal process, the bolt heads may become stripped; the nut or bolt heads may become rounded. If this occurs, they will need to be replaced. This may slow down the repair job, as sourcing new hardware may be time-consuming.

This MOOG complete strut assembly includes lower mounting hardware such as strut mount bolts or pinch bolts. This supplied hardware meets OE specification, and combined with the MOOG complete strut assembly, provides ease of installation and a thorough repair.
