Product Details
The Monroe OESpectrum Strut line focuses on OE-style ride quality with controlled damping characteristics that help the suspension respond predictably over bumps, dips, and uneven pavement. Part number 73073 is a front left suspension strut for 2019-2020 Kia Optima, front left, and 2015-2019 Hyundai Sonata, front left, as well as 2016-2018 Kia Optima, front left. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 54650D4800, 54651C2800) for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive front-end bounce or float
- Noisy or harsh ride quality from worn struts
- Reduced steering stability and road control
- Uneven damping response during braking and cornering
- Factory ride feel that has degraded with mileage
