I'm so happy I trusted the reviews and went with Detroit Axle. This is a 6-month review. The old strut mounts were rattling over bumps and the car sat really low. Puddles would make the belt slip and squeak. It still felt smooth and nice but cornering wasn't very fun (body roll). These struts made it all better and I have no complaints about the ride height or fitment. Installation was no problem except one of the ABS wire mounts was finicky. Initially, the ride height was a little higher than I thought it should be but as you can see in the picture, the springs have settled to an even and appropriate stance. The ride was slightly bouncy (but still smooth) at first but a few hundred miles later the car feels smooth as silk and cornering is much better than before. Feels like a Lexus! Even if these only last 2 years, at the price, so worth it to make an old car feel new. Review: Detroit Axle Struts - Mazda5 - Extremely smooth ride after installation; a complete contrast from the OE Struts that had finally worn out on my Mazda5. Perfect fit and no issues reconnecting the ABS line and the brake line. I also replaced the stabilizer bar links since it was the perfect time to also do that. Also the top of these Detroit Axle Struts can be manually repositioned (rotated slightly by hand) to align with the upper "Strut Tower" (3-hole pattern) bolt locations. Every detail...every design feature is built-in to these aftermarket Struts to identically match the OE Struts. Only time will tell how durable these Detroit Axle aftermarket Struts are. I've used these on other older vehicles and these have worked extremely well. When it comes to installation, I don't know that there are ANY "easy" Struts to install. The beauty of this product is they come Factory pre-assembled with brand new Springs, which is an immediate time saver as well as a safer car maintenance task for the DIY'er, like myself. While that costs more, I myself don't mind paying a little extra for the factory pre-assembled (entire) Strut assembly. I have never had a problem with Detroit Axle Struts. I like the paint quality and the finished look. The only drawback with replacing Struts is getting them perfectly realigned back into the main front (Cast) wheel bearing Housing. I'm talking about a very near "line to line" shaft fit back into the factory machined cast collar. It takes patience, a coating of motor oil on the Strut bottom (about 2") and careful but deliberate use of a smaller (3-lb) sledge hammer. I well imagine that all vehicle makes and models are going to be different for ease of replacement Strut installation. Mazdas are a challenge for absolutely sure, however the immediate difference in ride quality is WELL worth the effort. I've done over a dozen or so of these aftermarket Struts now. I'm still an amateur but I always, always appreciate the immediate difference in ride quality. Makes your older vehicles feel and drive young again. And if you can afford it (and the need is there), replacing the front tires (with a front end alignment!) will transform your vehicle to an even greater, smoother ride. The value is in driving your older vehicle longer before having to finally replace it. ## Features - Replacement for 2013 Ford Explorer (3.5L; AWD; Built After 9/4/2012) - [2014-2019 Ford Explorer (3.5L; AWD)] - Kit Includes: 2x Front Strut & Coil Spring + 2x Rear Shock Absorbers + 2x Front Sway Bar End Links + 2x Rear Sway Bar End Links - Detroit Axle Strut Assemblies are complete and ready for installation with no additional work or special tool required for installation - Undergo impact, wear, and fatigue testing to help ensure quality and durability - 10-Year Warranty - OE/OEM Part Number: 4911330 272730 272729 K750616 K750617 K750393 K750394 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0C3BYKRVK | | Auto Part Position | Front | | Automotive Fit Type | Vehicle Specific Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,991 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #2 in Automotive Replacement Struts | | Brand Name | Detroit Axle | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Car | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (7,443) | | Exterior Finish | Black | | Item Weight | 58 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Detroit Axle | | Manufacturer Part Number | 8AQS47517 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 10-Year | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Number | 8AQS47517 | | OEM Equivalent Part Number | 4911330, 272730, 272729, K750616, K750617, K750393, K750394 | | Part Interchange Info | 911330 632729 632730 X750616 X750617 X750393 X750394 | | Style Name | Modern | ## Product Details - **Auto Part Position:** Front - **Brand:** Detroit Axle - **Exterior Finish:** Black - **Style:** Modern - **Vehicle Service Type:** Car ## Images ![Detroit Axle - AWD Front Struts & Coil Spring + Rear Shock Absorbers + Front & Rear Sway Bars Replacement for 2013-2019 Ford Explorer 3.5L - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DVMYGmMrL.jpg) ![Detroit Axle - AWD Front Struts & Coil Spring + Rear Shock Absorbers + Front & Rear Sway Bars Replacement for 2013-2019 Ford Explorer 3.5L - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715v0+PMfmL.jpg) ![Detroit Axle - AWD Front Struts & Coil Spring + Rear Shock Absorbers + Front & Rear Sway Bars Replacement for 2013-2019 Ford Explorer 3.5L - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61eKE3uXBiL.jpg) ![Detroit Axle - AWD Front Struts & Coil Spring + Rear Shock Absorbers + Front & Rear Sway Bars Replacement for 2013-2019 Ford Explorer 3.5L - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zSpyeHkiL.jpg) ![Detroit Axle - AWD Front Struts & Coil Spring + Rear Shock Absorbers + Front & Rear Sway Bars Replacement for 2013-2019 Ford Explorer 3.5L - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rtXPQlVmL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible Value *by I***N on September 28, 2025* I agonized about whether to buy these or spend a LOT more on other options.

I purchased the kit through Amazon and called the company directly to explain the situation. I requested that I not have to return the entire kit just for the missing part, nor did I want to deal with filing a FedEx claim. To my relief, they were extremely accommodating. They promptly sent out the missing part, which arrived just two days later. Speaking with their customer service team over the phone was a refreshing experience — they were professional from the moment they answered to the moment they hung up. Considering the strut kit weighs over 100 pounds and came in two large boxes, returning the entire order would’ve been a huge inconvenience. Their willingness to work with me saved a lot of hassle. As for the product quality, the struts are indistinguishable from the original OEM parts. The design and build are identical, and I especially appreciated the upgraded sway bar linkage rod. It not only includes a grease fitting, but they also added a bolt head on the back side, allowing for easy installation without needing an Allen key to hold it in place — a smart improvement that Toyota themselves should consider for future models. I wouldn’t hesitate to order from Detroit Axle again. In fact, I have another vehicle that will soon be needing a similar set, and I fully intend to go with them again.
