Complete bolt-in assembled front struts for the Nissan Navara D40 (12/2005 - 2015), sold per pair. Each assembly combines a Tough Dog strut, approx. 40mm raised coil spring and strut top - no spring compressor needed.
Select your engine first - the 2.5L/4.0L and the 3.0L STX-550 V6 use different coils - then choose Foam Cell or the 9-position 40mm Adjustable and the rate for your bar work.
Assembled struts take the spring-compressor work out of a front-end upgrade on the Nissan Navara D40 & Pathfinder R51: 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 front Struts for the Nissan Navara D40 & Pathfinder R51.
Rear end: pair with Tough Dog rear leaf springs and rear shocks.

Pick the coil group matching your engine (2.5L/4.0L, or the 3.0L STX-550 V6), then the rate: Petrol/Diesel with Bar for up to a steel bull bar, or Bar and Winch when running a winch as well. Include only permanent accessories.
Tough Dog specifies the same NIS-040 series assembled struts for the Navara D40 (12/2005 - 2015) and Pathfinder R51 (11/2005 - 2013). Pick the coil group matching your engine: 2.5L/4.0L, or the 3.0L V6 (STX-550 in the Navara).
The listed price covers both sides – always replace left and right together so the axle is evenly damped and sprung. Book a wheel alignment straight after fitting: any change to the front end moves camber and castor enough to affect steering and tyre wear.
A moderate suspension lift is generally acceptable in most Australian states, but the allowed total lift and whether certification is needed differ between states and change over time – so always confirm with your state’s transport authority before modifying. Our guide explains how the rules work state by state: are lift kits legal in Australia?
