Tough Dog assembled front struts for the Mitsubishi Pajero NM, NP, NS, NT, NW and NX (May 2000 - 2021), delivering up to 40mm of front lift. Each assembled strut is built complete — strut, coil spring and strut top — so they bolt straight in with no spring compressor needed. Sold as a pair (2 struts). Choose your strut from the dropdowns: Foam Cell or 9-position 40mm Adjustable, with coil springs matched to your front-end weight (stock height, steel bar petrol or diesel, or steel bar and winch).
Assembled struts take the spring-compressor work out of a front-end upgrade on the Mitsubishi Pajero NM-NX 2000-2021: each unit arrives with the strut, coil and top already assembled and torqued, so it unbolts and bolts back in as a complete assembly.
Select the coil option that matches what the vehicle permanently carries up front – a bare bonnet, a steel bar, or bar plus winch – so the finished height lands where it should. Count only permanent accessories when choosing.
Fit them as a pair and book a wheel alignment straight after – any strut change on an independent front end moves camber and castor enough to matter for tyre wear.
Doing the whole vehicle at once? We also stock the matching front Coil Springs and rear Coil Springs for the Mitsubishi Pajero NM-NX 2000-2021.
Browse all compatible parts with our Pajero parts finder.
Select coils to suit the weight sitting on the front end: No Accessories (OE Height) for a stock front end (Foam Cell only), Steel Bar - Petrol or Steel Bar - Diesel when a steel bull bar is fitted (diesel engines are heavier, so the rate differs), and Steel Bar and Winch when running both. Unsure? Contact us with your rego and setup.
If your coils and strut tops are good, the bare Tough Dog front struts (FC404300 / BM404300) are the cheaper option. The matching rear shock for the NM-NX is the Foam Cell FC41148.

Each strut arrives built as a complete unit - strut, coil spring and a new strut top - torqued and ready to bolt straight into the vehicle. No spring compressor is needed, which makes installation faster and safer than assembling loose parts.
Diesel Pajeros carry more weight over the front axle, so Tough Dog specifies a different coil rate. Pick the option matching your engine when a steel bar is fitted. If you run no accessories, choose No Accessories (OE Height); with a bar and winch, choose Steel Bar and Winch.
Tough Dog builds the 40mm Adjustable assembled strut for accessory-equipped vehicles only (steel bar, or bar and winch). For a stock front end, choose the Foam Cell OE Height option, or buy the bare adjustable strut (BM404300) and re-use your own coils.
These suit the following applications: Mitsubishi Pajero NM, NP, NS, NT, NW, NX May 2000 - 2021 Front. Check your build date and variant against the fitment table on this page – if you're not certain, contact us with your rego or VIN details and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
