About the Monroe OESpectrum Strut Line

The OESpectrum Strut line from Monroe is engineered to deliver a balance of comfort and control by utilizing a low gas charged design that ensures slow strut rod extension. This technology helps reduce noise and vibration while maintaining consistent damping performance. The 71128 strut is part of this line, offering a B11 body type and extended bumper stop to enhance durability and ride stability for compatible vehicles.

Detailed Product Description

This Monroe suspension strut features a compressed length of 12.46 inches and an extended length of 19.5 inches, with a body length of 16.283 inches. The inclusion of an extended bumper stop helps protect the strut during full compression, while the absence of a compressed bumper stop is consistent with the OESpectrum design. The strut is a low gas charged unit, which provides a slower rod extension to improve ride smoothness and reduce harshness. The 2.003-inch reserve tube diameter contributes to the structural integrity of the strut, and the travel length of 7.04 inches allows for effective suspension movement. Mounting hardware and a parts pack (P00762) are included for ease of installation.
