OESpectrum Strut Line Details

The Monroe OESpectrum Strut line is focused on OE-style ride control for drivers who want predictable steering response and reduced harshness without changing the vehicle’s original suspension character. Part number 72532 follows that approach with gas-charged operation and dimensions matched to the listed front left fitments for Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Vehicle Fitment

  • Fits 2010-2012 Ford Taurus, front left, without Police Package; OESpectrum Strut
  • Fits 2011-2012 Lincoln MKS, front left, OESpectrum Strut
  • Fits 2010 Lincoln MKS, front left, from 7/09; OESpectrum Strut

What This Strut Helps Address

  • Excessive front-end bounce or rebound
  • Loose or inconsistent steering feel
  • Noise and harshness from worn suspension damping
  • Uneven ride control at the front left corner
  • Loss of factory-like road manners on Taurus and MKS models

Installation Notes

Verify front left placement and confirm the vehicle is one of the listed Taurus or MKS applications before installation. Compare the compressed and extended lengths to the removed strut, and inspect related suspension components for wear during replacement. Mounting hardware is included, while the dust shield is not.

Quality Assurance

Monroe OESpectrum Strut 72532 is built as an OE-style replacement strut for the listed applications, with gas-charged construction and application-specific dimensions to support consistent suspension performance.
