Rear Strut Shock Assembly w/Coil Spring for Honda Accord 2003-2007

In this review the Rear Strut Shock Assembly w/Coil Spring is tested as a direct replacement option for owners of mid-2000s Honda Accord and Acura TL models. The biggest reason to consider this kit is simple: it provides two complete rear strut assemblies with coil springs that claim a perfect, bolt-in fit for the listed non-hybrid Accords and the Acura TL, making it a practical choice for anyone wanting a straightforward rear suspension refresh without cutting or heavy modification.

Key Features

• Vehicle Compatibility: Built specifically for Honda Accord 2003-2007 (exclude hybrid) and Acura TL 2004-2008 so buyers get parts matched to those models.
• Complete Pair: The kit includes one left and one right rear strut shock assembly with coil springs, offering a full axle replacement in a single purchase.
• Direct Fit Design: The assemblies are designed to fit without cutting or custom modification, which simplifiess installation and reduces workshop time.
• Replaces OE Part: Marketed as a replacement for part number 171372, helping shoppers cross-reference their factory component quickly.
• Quality Assurance: Each unit is tested before shipping and covered by a 12-month warranty, giving some post-purchase protection.
• Installation Friendly: The assemblies are advertised as easy to install, which suits DIYers with basic suspension experience.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at Honda Accord owners from 2003-2007 (non-hybrid) and Acura TL owners from 2004-2008 who need to replace worn rear struts and prefer a ready-built assembly with coil springs. It suits DIYers and independent shops that want to replace both rear struts at once for consistent ride height and damping.

It is less appropriate for owners of hybrid Accords or those who require OE-branded parts from the original manufacturer; also, if a custom suspension setup or height adjustment is required, these direct-fit assemblies will not provide that flexibility.
