The Motorcraft AST278 is a complete front strut assembly for 2006–2012 Ford Fusion, 2006–2011 Mercury Milan and 2007–2008 Lincoln MKZ models. It comes pre-assembled with the spring and mount, so it bolts in without a spring compressor. It is the Ford-recommended replacement part and carries a 2-year, unlimited-mileage warranty honored at Ford and Lincoln dealers. At $47.26 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, well under typical dealer-counter pricing.
