When pairing these struts with replacement coil springs, accurate spring rate selection is critical for ride quality, handling, and component longevity. Choose your spring rate based on constant accessory load only — items permanently fitted to your Everest such as bull bars, side steps, roof racks, drawer systems, second batteries, long-range fuel tanks, and heavy-duty rear bars. Do not factor occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, or towing weight, as this will result in over-sprung ride harshness, premature bushing wear, and compromised damping control. Front constant loads typically include bull bars (30-60kg), winches (30-50kg), steel bumpers, driving lights, and UHF aerials, while rear loads include drawer systems (40-80kg), dual battery setups, water tanks, and rear replacement bumpers.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD mechanic is strongly recommended to ensure correct torque specifications, safety compliance, and warranty validation. While experienced DIY enthusiasts with appropriate tools can perform the installation, precision is essential when working with suspension components. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to reset caster, camber, and toe angles — failure to align will cause premature tyre wear and compromised handling. Allow a 500km break-in period for the foam cell damping to settle and seats to bed in before making any ride quality assessments. For Everest owners installing a complete lift kit, consider pairing these struts with upgraded heavy-duty control arms to restore suspension geometry and maintain optimal ball joint angles at lifted ride heights.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's most trusted suspension brand through decades of engineering excellence, rigorous outback testing, and unwavering commitment to quality. Every Toughdog product is developed specifically for Australian conditions — from the relentless corrugations of the Canning Stock Route to the salt-laden coastal highways — ensuring durability that imported alternatives simply cannot match. Backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and supported by a nationwide dealer network, Toughdog suspension is the choice of professional tourers, tradespeople, and adventure families who demand reliability when it matters most. Explore the complete Toughdog suspension range for matching rear shocks, springs, and complete lift kits engineered to work together.
These Toughdog Front Foam Cell Struts are ideal for Ford Everest owners who've added heavy accessories like bull bars and winches, regularly tow caravans or trailers, or tour Australia's remote regions where reliability is non-negotiable. They're equally suited to daily drivers seeking a quality OE replacement that improves comfort and control over worn factory struts. For owners carrying substantial rear loads or towing at maximum capacity, consider complementing these struts with adjustable airbag suspension at the rear to maintain level ride height and prevent rear squat — the perfect combination for serious tourers and family adventurers.

These struts are engineered specifically for Ford Everest models from 2015 onwards, including the UA series (2015-2022) and the next-generation Everest (2023-current). They fit all engine variants including 2.0L Bi-Turbo, 3.2L TDCi, and 3.0L V6 Turbo engines. The struts are a direct bolt-in replacement using factory mounting points with no modifications required. If you have a heavily modified Everest or aftermarket suspension components already fitted, please contact our team to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Foam cell technology uses pressurised polyurethane foam instead of gas to displace oil inside the shock body, which eliminates aeration and prevents shock fade during extended use. This design offers superior heat dissipation compared to traditional gas shocks, maintaining consistent damping performance on long corrugated roads, steep descents, or when towing heavy loads. Foam cell struts deliver a more refined on-road ride while providing excellent control off-road, making them ideal for dual-purpose vehicles like the Everest. They also tend to last longer than conventional twin-tube gas shocks due to reduced internal wear and oil breakdown.
This package includes two complete front foam cell struts (left and right) with hard chrome piston rods, high-temperature seals, and all necessary mounting hardware and bushes where applicable. The struts come factory-pressurised and ready to install. Please note that coil springs, upper strut mounts, and bump stops are sold separately — if you're replacing worn springs or building a lift kit, you'll need to order matching coil springs separately. Check our Ford Everest parts finder to browse complete suspension kits or contact our team for package recommendations.
Yes, these Toughdog foam cell struts are excellent for towing applications thanks to their firmer compression damping that controls front-end dive under braking and maintains steering precision when towing within your Everest's rated capacity. The foam cell technology prevents fade during extended highway towing, ensuring consistent performance over long distances. However, these struts alone won't address rear squat when towing heavy loads — for optimal towing setup, pair these front struts with upgraded rear shocks and consider adding airbag suspension at the rear to maintain level ride height and improve stability.
If you're replacing worn factory struts with these Toughdog units at standard ride height, upgraded control arms are not essential. However, if you're installing these struts as part of a lift kit (pairing them with raised coil springs), aftermarket control arms become important to restore proper suspension geometry and maintain correct ball joint angles. Lifted Everests benefit significantly from heavy-duty control arms with corrected geometry, which prevent premature ball joint wear and improve handling. Our team can recommend the right control arm upgrade based on your total lift height and intended use.
Yes, a professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any new suspension components, including these front struts. Even though they're a direct replacement, the installation process disturbs suspension geometry and alignment settings. Without proper alignment, you'll experience premature and uneven tyre wear, poor handling, and potential steering pull. The alignment should reset caster, camber, and toe angles to manufacturer specifications (or adjusted specs if you've fitted a lift kit). Most suspension shops include alignment in their installation service, and it's essential for warranty validation and safe vehicle operation.
These foam cell struts are sold as a pair without springs included, giving you complete flexibility to choose spring rates that match your specific load requirements. When selecting coil springs separately, base your choice on constant accessory load only — permanent items like bull bars, winches, roof racks, and drawer systems. Do not select heavier springs based on occasional loads like camping gear or passengers, as this will result in a harsh, over-sprung ride and potential damage to other suspension components. Our team can guide you through spring selection based on your exact accessory setup to ensure optimal ride quality and performance.
These struts alone do not provide any lift — they're designed as a performance replacement for factory struts at standard ride height. Tyre clearance depends on whether you pair them with raised coil springs as part of a lift kit. A 50mm lift kit (struts plus raised springs) typically allows 31-32 inch tyres on the Everest without rubbing, while a 2-inch (50-60mm) lift can accommodate 33 inch tyres with minor trimming. If larger tyres are your goal, speak to our team about complete lift kit packages that include these struts, matching raised coil springs, and any necessary correction components for your desired tyre size.
Toughdog backs these foam cell struts with a comprehensive Australian manufacturer warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty period and specific terms are included with your purchase documentation, and coverage is contingent on professional installation, proper vehicle loading (not exceeding GVM), and regular maintenance. Toughdog's Australia-wide dealer network ensures warranty claims are processed efficiently, and the brand's reputation for standing behind their products gives you confidence in your investment. Keep your installation receipts and ensure wheel alignment is completed to maintain full warranty protection.
Absolutely — these Toughdog foam cell struts excel in daily driving conditions, delivering a refined, comfortable ride that's notably superior to worn factory struts. The precision valving is tuned specifically for the Everest's on-road characteristics, providing composed handling, reduced body roll, and excellent stability at highway speeds. Unlike hardcore off-road shocks that can feel harsh on pavement, foam cell technology maintains compliance over expansion joints and road imperfections while still offering the control needed for weekend adventures. They're the perfect choice for Everest owners who primarily drive on sealed roads but want the capability and durability for regular touring and off-road excursions.
