Front Right Complete Strut & Coil Spring Assembly for 4Runner/Tacoma

Our review of this Front Right Complete Strut & Coil Spring Assembly finds it aimed at owners who need a straightforward, direct-fit replacement for the passenger side of compatible Toyota trucks and SUVs. The biggest reason to buy is the pre-assembled, ready-to-install design that replaces the original unit without modification, saving time and reducing shop labor. Fit and function are the primary strengths called out by buyers, and this part covers a wide range of model years for Tacoma, 4Runner and FJ Cruiser applications where a passenger-side front strut is needed.

Key Features

• Direct-fit assembly: The unit ships as a pre-assembled strut and coil spring so it installs like the original equipment and minimizes install time.
• Wide compatibility: Designed to fit many applications including 2005-15 Tacoma and 2010-23 4Runner passenger front positions without KDSS or X-REAS on listed years.
• Included components: Coil spring, strut mount and related hardware arrive with the assembly so you do not need to transfer parts from the old unit.
• Gas-charged damping: The gas-charged design helps maintain ride control and responsiveness under normal driving conditions.
• OEM-style mounting: Threaded stud upper mount and loop eyelet lower mount are provided for a familiar installation process.

Who It's For

This part is for DIY mechanics and professional installers replacing a failed or worn front passenger strut on compatible Toyota 4Runner, Tacoma and FJ Cruiser models who want a time-saving, bolt-in assembly. It suits owners looking for a cost-effective replacement that matches the original fitment and restores handling without custom work.

It is not for vehicles equipped with suspension systems outside the listed compatibility (for example KDSS or X-REAS models in some years), and buyers who need heavy-duty or lifted suspension upgrades should look at performance or leveling-specific units instead.
