Direct-Fit Front Left Strut Assembly
The Unity 13117 is a complete strut assembly engineered for 1996-2000 Toyota Rav4 front-wheel-drive models. It arrives fully assembled with a gas-charged cartridge, coil spring, top mount, bearing plate, bumper, and insulators. This design restores factory ride height and handling without requiring spring compression. It is sold individually for the driver side.
Preassembled Unit Removes Specialty Tool Requirement
The bundle integrates every wear component into a single bolt-on unit, eliminating the need for a spring compressor or separate part sourcing. New bearing plates, upper and lower isolators, and a rubber dust boot are included. This approach reduces installation time and removes the safety risks associated with compressing heavy coil springs manually.
FWD-Specific Design With Defined Physical Limits
The assembly fits 1996-2000 Rav4 FWD models only and will not suit all-wheel-drive variants. Dimensions measure 30 by 8.9 by 9.3 inches with a weight of 25.6 lbs, so verify under-hood clearance before ordering. Replacing both front struts together is recommended for balanced damping performance.

Questions about this item
Will the coil spring or gas-charged cartridge in the Unity 13117 strut need replacement later?
The assembly arrives with a new coil spring and gas-charged cartridge already installed; no separate spring compression or cartridge service is required at installation.
What is the first limit reached when the strut operates continuously on rough roads?
The gas-charged shock cartridge controls damping; under sustained heavy use its thermal capacity is the first limit before performance fades.
How much heat or noise does the Unity 13117 produce during all-day driving?
The strut is a passive suspension component with no electrical draw; it generates only normal road-noise and minimal heat from hydraulic damping.
