Monroe OESpectrum Rear Strut for Mitsubishi Eclipse

Restore factory-style ride control on your Mitsubishi Eclipse with the Monroe OESpectrum Strut 71276. This rear suspension strut is built to deliver precise handling response while reducing noise, vibration, and harshness for a more controlled daily drive.

  • Low gas-charged unit with slow strut rod extension

Product Details

The Monroe OESpectrum Strut 71276 is engineered for the rear of the Mitsubishi Eclipse across 1995-2005 model years. It uses a low gas-charged design with slow strut rod extension to help maintain consistent suspension response, while the OESpectrum line focuses on restoring original factory drivability and performance. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Rear-end bounce or excessive rebound over uneven pavement
  • Loose or unsettled handling in a Mitsubishi Eclipse
  • Noise and vibration coming from worn rear suspension components
  • Reduced ride control during braking, cornering, or lane changes
  • Loss of original suspension feel on higher-mileage Eclipse models

Installation Notes

Fits 1995-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse, rear. Verify the vehicle’s rear suspension configuration before installation and compare the compressed length, extended length, and travel length to the removed part. The included mounting hardware can help streamline replacement, and the extended bumper stop is part of the assembly. Confirm interchange references and OE-style dimensions before final installation on your Eclipse.

Quality Assurance

Monroe OESpectrum struts are positioned as OE-style replacement components for restoring factory drivability and performance. Part number 71276 is built for direct rear fitment on listed Mitsubishi Eclipse applications and is backed by Monroe’s product engineering standards.
