Short product summary
Premium front shock absorber / strut set engineered as a direct-fit replacement for Chevrolet Cruze 2.0L diesel models (2009–2017). Supplied as matched left & right units (part nos. J13402942 & J13402943), available in two practical fitment options — choose Type 1 for damper-only replacement or Type 2 for a complete front strut assembly for faster, cleaner installation.

What’s included

• Type 1 — Shock absorber (damper) set: Left + right front shock absorbers. Ideal when springs, mounts and top bearings are in good condition and only the damping elements need replacement.

• Type 2 — Complete front strut assembly: Left + right assembled units (damper pre-mounted with coil spring, top mount and bearing where applicable). Ideal for one-step replacement — reduces labour and alignment issues after service.

Key features & benefits

• Direct-fit replacement — Manufactured to match OE mounting points and fitment for 2009–2017 Cruze 2.0L diesel models for hassle-free installation.

• Matched pair — Sold and balanced as a left/right pair to preserve vehicle handling and ride consistency.

• Durable construction — Robust materials and seals designed for long service life under real-world driving conditions.

• Restores handling & comfort — Replaces worn or leaking units to improve steering stability, reduce body roll and restore original ride quality.

• Quality checks — Each unit is inspected and tested to ensure consistent performance before dispatch.

Fitment & fitment notes

• Vehicle coverage: Chevrolet Cruze 2.0L — diesel engines — model years 2009 through 2017.

• Part numbers: J13402942 and J13402943 correspond to the front left and front right positions (both part numbers provided depending on side). Confirm your current part numbers or consult a fitment guide/installer if unsure.

• Choose Type 1 if you are replacing only the shock/damper and plan to reuse the existing springs/mounts.

• Choose Type 2 for a full strut swap (recommended when springs, mounts, or bearings show wear) — simplifies installation and reduces the chance of noise/fitment issues after replacement.

Installation & service advice

• Replace front struts as a matched pair (both left and right) for even handling and tyre wear.

• If using Type 1 (dampers only), inspect springs, top mounts and bearings for wear — replace worn components to avoid premature failure.

• After installation, wheel alignment is recommended to restore correct geometry and tyre life.
