If your CR-V is bouncing excessively over bumps, diving noticeably under braking, or showing uneven tire wear from worn suspension, these struts replace the complete front assembly rather than requiring you to source and install a separate spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a Complete Strut Assembly Beats Separate Parts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA strut assembly combines the shock absorber, coil spring, and the mounting hardware that holds them together into one pre-assembled unit, which matters because compressing and installing a coil spring onto a bare strut requires a spring compressor and carries real risk if done incorrectly — a loaded spring stores a significant amount of energy. Buying the complete assembly means that risk and extra step are handled before the part ever reaches you, and the strut and spring are matched to each other rather than paired up separately. It also means one part number to order instead of sourcing a shock, a spring, and the isolators and boots separately and hoping they're all correctly matched to each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross-referenced to OE numbers 272491 and 272492\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete assembly with coil spring, dust boot, and mounting hardware included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-tensile springs sized to restore factory ride height and control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnti-corrosion, rust-resistant coating on the shock body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOE numbers: 272491, 272492\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: Front, both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Strut, coil spring, dust boot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Steel with anti-corrosion coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackage: 2 pieces (left and right)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits the 2007-2014 Honda CR-V. Because ride height and spring rate can vary slightly across CR-V trims and options packages within this range, it's worth confirming these OE numbers against your specific vehicle before ordering, particularly if your CR-V has any aftermarket suspension components already installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSigns Your Struts Need Replacing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorn front struts on a CR-V typically show up as excessive bouncing that continues after hitting a bump instead of settling quickly, noticeable nose-dive under braking, a rougher ride overall, or uneven and accelerated wear on the front tires from suspension that's no longer controlling wheel movement properly. Because struts wear out gradually, a lot of owners don't notice how much has changed until they drive a vehicle with fresh struts and feel the difference directly. A quick bounce test at each front corner — pushing down on the bumper and watching how many times it rebounds before settling — is a simple way to gauge how much life is left before committing to a full inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Replace Both Sides Together\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStruts on both sides of the vehicle see essentially the same mileage and road conditions, so when one side is worn enough to need replacement, the other side is usually not far behind. Replacing both front struts as a set, rather than one at a time, keeps the suspension behaving symmetrically and avoids the uneven handling that comes from pairing a worn strut with a fresh one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFront strut replacement means disconnecting the strut from the steering knuckle and the upper strut mount inside the engine bay or under the hood liner, and because the assembly comes pre-loaded with the spring, there's no need for a spring compressor during installation — that risk was already handled before the part shipped. A wheel alignment is recommended afterward, since strut replacement can affect front-end alignment even when the new parts are a direct match for the originals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOrdering Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Honda CR-V front strut assembly pair is in stock and ships ready to install.
