Detailed Product Description

Monroe’s OESpectrum Passenger Car Shock Absorber 5672 is engineered for vehicles such as the Dodge Accent, Hyundai Accent, Kia Forte, Forte5, Forte Koup, and Hyundai Attitude. The shock absorber’s compressed length of 9.95 inches and extended length of 14.31 inches provide the correct stroke for these models, while the travel length of 4.36 inches allows for effective suspension movement. The loop bushing and sleeve mount design (12mm sleeve ID with 1.7/16 inch sleeve overall length on the lower mount and 47.63mm sleeve overall length on the upper mount) ensures a secure and vibration-resistant connection to the vehicle’s suspension system. The absence of a compressed bumper stop and extended hydraulic lockout indicates a focus on smooth damping performance without harsh cutoffs.
