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

Installation Notes

Verify front left fitment before installation on your Hyundai Sonata or Kia Optima. Compare compressed length, extended length, and mounting points to the original strut, and inspect related suspension components such as mounts, springs, and bump stops during service. Monroe OESpectrum Strut 73073 is a direct-fit style replacement for the listed applications.

Quality Assurance

Monroe designs the OESpectrum Strut line to help return the vehicle to original factory drivability and performance characteristics. For 2015-2019 Hyundai Sonata and 2016-2018 Kia Optima applications, the listing notes a limited lifetime warranty on this shock absorber.
