Front Complete Strut Assembly Kit
The Unity 2-11897-11898-001 kit contains two fully assembled front struts designed for the 1998-2002 Subaru Forester. Each unit arrives with the strut, top mount, bearing plate, bumper, insulators and coil spring already installed. The pre-assembled design removes the need for specialty spring compressors during the repair. DIY mechanics and professional technicians can complete the job faster with all-new components.
Verify fitment and clearances before ordering
Confirm the vehicle is a 1998-2002 Subaru Forester and that the front suspension uses the standard strut configuration. Check that the existing mounting points, brake lines and ABS wiring have enough length to accommodate the new assemblies. Inspect the steering knuckle and control-arm bushings for wear so they can be replaced at the same time if needed. Ensure the wheel alignment can be performed after installation.
Sustained-load behaviour on the road
The coil springs and dampers are built from materials chosen for long-term fatigue resistance under daily driving loads. The OE-style valving maintains consistent damping force over repeated compression and rebound cycles. The included insulators and bumpers help isolate harsh impacts, reducing transmitted vibration to the chassis. The assembly is engineered to retain ride height and handling characteristics through extended service intervals.
