Product Details

The Monroe OESpectrum line is engineered for drivers who want OE-style suspension behavior with controlled damping and reduced harshness. On the 72722, Monroe uses a gas-charged strut design to help maintain consistent extension and suspension control through normal road inputs. This makes it a practical replacement for worn front right struts on the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage, especially when ride quality, steering feel, and body control have started to decline. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Use Monroe 72722 when servicing the front right corner on 2010-2015 Hyundai Tucson and 2011-2016 Kia Sportage models. The part number 72722 is also a useful search reference when comparing OE-style replacement struts for these vehicles.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or oscillation
• Reduced steering precision and road feel
• Noise and vibration from a worn strut assembly
• Uneven suspension response at the front right corner
• Loss of controlled ride quality over bumps and dips

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle year, make, model, and front right position before installation. Compare compressed length, extended length, and travel length to the original strut to confirm proper suspension geometry. Inspect related wear items such as mounts, springs, and bushings during service, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specifications and alignment procedures after replacement. The Monroe 72722 includes mounting hardware, which can simplify the repair process when replacing the front right strut on a Hyundai Tucson or Kia Sportage.

Quality Assurance

Monroe OESpectrum struts are built around OE-style ride control requirements and are intended to restore factory-like drivability and handling balance. The 72722 is a gas-charged suspension strut designed for consistent performance in the specified Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage front right applications.
