Detailed Description

The Monroe OESpectrum Strut 72142 is engineered for the front suspension of the Mitsubishi Lancer, 2002-2007. It is part of Monroe’s OESpectrum strut line, which is aimed at restoring original factory drivability by balancing handling response with ride comfort.

If you are replacing worn front struts on a Mitsubishi Lancer, part number 72142 provides a direct-fit suspension strut solution for this application. This part cross-references KYB 334369 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Excessive front-end bounce after bumps
  • Reduced steering response and road control
  • Noise and vibration from worn suspension damping
  • Uneven ride quality caused by aging front struts
  • Loss of factory-like drivability on a Mitsubishi Lancer

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2002-2007 Mitsubishi Lancer, front. Confirm the vehicle’s front suspension configuration before installation and inspect related wear items such as upper mounts, springs, and isolators. The included mounting hardware supports installation, and the gas-charged strut will extend automatically during handling and assembly. Verify part number 72142 against the existing strut and vehicle application before service.

Quality Assurance

Monroe designs the OESpectrum line to deliver OE-style ride control with attention to handling precision and reduction of harshness. The strut is built for the front suspension application listed above and is backed by Monroe’s product engineering standards.
