Front Left Strut for WRX-RS Sedan

This complete strut assembly fits the front left corner of 2004-2007 Impreza WRX-RS sedan models. It arrives fully preassembled with a new coil spring, top mount, bearing plate, bump stop, insulators, dust boot and a gas-charged shock cartridge. The unit is designed to restore factory ride height and original equipment handling characteristics. It is sold individually for side-specific replacement.

Bolt-On Installation Without Spring Compressors

Because every component is factory-assembled, the strut bolts directly to the vehicle using standard hand tools and eliminates the need for a spring compressor. This reduces both labour time and the safety risk associated with compressing heavy coil springs. The kit includes new upper and lower spring isolators so no original hardware is reused. Fitment is limited to sedan body styles; wagon models are not covered.

Consistent Damping Over Extended Use

The gas-charged shock cartridge maintains stable damping force during prolonged driving by reducing oil aeration that can cause fade on long descents or repeated cornering. All-new seals, bushings and bearings preserve alignment and prevent premature noise or leakage. Replacing both front struts together is recommended to keep left-to-right damping balanced over the vehicle's service life.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the Unity 11197 strut assembly is working correctly after installation?

After fitting the preassembled unit, the sedan should sit at factory ride height with no unusual noises over bumps; the gas-charged cartridge, coil spring, top mount, bearing plate, bumper and insulators are all new, so the left front corner should respond smoothly and evenly.

What components come in the box with the Unity 11197 and what must I supply myself?

The box contains the complete front-left strut assembly — coil spring, gas-charged shock cartridge, top mount, bearing plate, upper and lower spring isolators, rubber dust boot and bumper — fully assembled; you only need standard hand tools for the mounting bolts.

Which version of the Unity 11197 should I choose for my 2004-2007 Impreza WRX-RS sedan?

This 11197 part number is the single front-left complete strut assembly built for 2004-2007 Impreza WRX-RS sedan models only; select it when the vehicle matches that exact application.
