This little piece basically sits inside the coil spring of your strut assembly. It helps maintain the spring’s alignment and keeps it from shifting around. It also supports the spring load and prevents it from collapsing completely when the suspension is at full extension. Sometimes it provides a specific ride height too, depending on the design. Think of your strut as a team. The strut itself is the main shock absorber, the spring handles the bumps, and this pipe acts a little like a backbone, keeping everything lined up and working together smoothly. It’s a key component within the entire strut assembly, which is obviously important for handling, ride comfort, and keeping your tires planted on the road. You’ll notice if this part goes bad, usually with noises – clunking or rattling coming from the front end, especially over bumps. It can also lead to uneven tire wear because the spring isn’t properly supported. If it fails completely, the strut can actually collapse, which is obviously a safety issue. It's a relatively small part but it plays a big role in maintaining a safe and comfortable ride. You can find these pretty easily, Fixparts Online has a good selection, and it’s something you definitely want to address if you suspect a problem. Affordable and reliable: Pipe (MPN 377513425A) has a 12-month warranty!
