Monroe OESpectrum Strut (MPN: 72311)

Advanced strut technology for enhanced handling and comfort.

Monroe OESpectrum struts are designed specifically for foreign nameplate vehicles, utilizing cutting-edge original equipment valving technologies. These struts are developed through extensive research and on-vehicle testing, ensuring a high level of handling precision and control while minimizing ride harshness. The integration of Tenneco's Twin Technology Active Control System allows for superior performance under various driving conditions, making these struts a reliable choice for vehicle suspension needs.

The unique Impact Control Valve (ICV) provides exceptional control, while the patented Low Speed Tunability (LST) piston design effectively isolates noise, vibration, and harshness. This combination of features results in a smoother ride and improved handling characteristics. The use of nitrogen gas charging further enhances ride quality by maintaining consistent tire-to-road contact and reducing aeration.

Constructed with durable materials, including a bronze reinforced rod guide bearing and a special seal, Monroe OESpectrum struts are built for longevity and consistent performance. The all-weather fluid used in these struts contains modifiers that reduce friction, ensuring smooth operation and responsiveness. With full displaced valving that automatically adjusts to road extremes, these struts provide a consistent and comfortable ride for various driving conditions.
