If your original Shock / Strut is surrounded by a Coil Spring, replacing just the bare cartridge may require a Coil Spring Compressor to safely remove and reuse the spring and mount (not included) from your original assembly.
Monroe® OESpectrum® shock absorbers feature original equipment valving technologies designed with the right technology specific for each application. OESpectrum shocks provide an exceptional level of handling precision and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.
Features:
All Weather Fluid: Contains special modifiers to reduce friction and ensure smooth rod reaction
Full Displaced Valving: Tuned specifically for each application, this valving automatically adjusts to road extremes to provide consistency and ride
Fluon Banded Piston: The fluon band provides consistent sealing between the piston and pressure tube which delivers better control and increased durability
1 3/16" Bore: Larger bore than most shocks to provide more efficient and consistent control
Twin Technology™: Impact Control Valve (ICV), delivers exceptional control under virtually all driving conditions, and patented Low Speed Tunability (LST) piston design that isolates impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
Nitrogen Gas Charged: For improved ride and handling, helps maintain tire to road contact by reducing aeration (on most applications)
1/2" Diameter Piston Rod: Nitrocarburized rod for long service life (non-dust shield units only)
Special Seal: 'Self-lubricating' fluid seal designed to retain gas without excessive wear or friction
