KUIPERAUTO Front Strut Assembly Pair for Ford Edge & Lincoln MKX (2007–2015) — Complete Preassembled Struts with Springs

KUIPERAUTO front strut assembly pair is a complete, preassembled suspension replacement engineered to restore ride comfort and steering control for 2007–2014 Ford Edge and 2007–2015 Lincoln MKX FWD models.

This pair of front strut/shock assemblies arrives ready to install and replaces OEM numbers such as 172889 and 172888. Each assembly includes the strut, coil spring, top mount, dust boot, bump stop, spring seat and isolator so you can swap them in without fabricating parts or adapting mounts. Built from alloy steel with an electrophoretic coating, these assemblies are designed to resist corrosion and handle normal driving stresses while delivering consistent damping.

Will these struts fit my Ford Edge or Lincoln MKX exactly?

These assemblies are manufactured for direct fitment to a defined range of vehicles and model years to ensure alignment and suspension geometry remain factory-correct. Check fitment against your vehicle’s year and drivetrain before ordering to avoid mismatches.

• Compatible with Ford Edge 2007–2010 FWD and 2011 models (all trims).
• Compatible with Ford Edge 2012–2014 3.5L/3.7L engines.
• Compatible with Lincoln MKX 2007–2010 FWD and 2011–2015 all trims.
• Replaces OEM numbers 172889, 172888, 372888, 372889, 182888, 182889 and related cross-references.

How easy is installation and what comes in the box?

The assemblies come preinstalled with springs and mounts, eliminating the need to compress springs or transfer components from old struts. That reduces labor time and the risk of improper reassembly, making them suitable for a professional install or an experienced DIYer with the right tools.

• Comes complete: strut, coil spring, mount, dust boot, bump stop, spring seat, and isolator.
• No spring compressors required when replacing like-for-like assemblies.
• Designed to meet OE dimensions for straightforward bolt-on replacement.
• Standard-size parts reduce fitment and alignment complications post-install.

What materials and testing back the durability of these struts?

The assemblies use high-grade alloy steel and an electrophoretic paint finish to increase resistance to rust and wear. KUIPERAUTO performs thermal and blasting tests that simulate real-world stresses to help ensure consistent damping and long-term reliability.

• Advanced alloy steel bodies for structural strength.
• Electrophoretic coating for improved corrosion protection.
• Quality control includes high/low temperature and air spring blasting tests.
• Engineered damping characteristics to maintain ride comfort and stability.

What should I expect in terms of performance and maintenance?

Replacing worn front struts with complete assemblies restores original ride height, improves steering feedback, and reduces excessive bounce. Routine visual inspections and periodic alignment checks after installation will help maintain performance and tire life.

• Returns suspension travel and damping closer to factory feel.
• Improves handling, especially during braking and cornering.
• Recommend wheel alignment after installation for optimal tire wear.
• Inspect mounts and boots periodically for damage or leaks.

Who is this for: These KUIPERAUTO front strut assemblies are aimed at owners of compatible Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX models who need a reliable, ready-to-install suspension replacement. They suit DIY mechanics comfortable with front-end work and professional technicians seeking a cost-effective alternative to OEM assemblies without sacrificing fit or function.
