Product Details

The Monroe OESpectrum line focuses on restoring original factory drivability with a balance of ride comfort and suspension control.

Published dimensions include a compressed length of 13.8438 inches, an extended length of 20.4688 inches, a body length of 13.5469 inches, and 6.625 inches of travel.
