Detailed Description

Monroe OESpectrum Strut 73117 is built for drivers who want a direct replacement front strut for the Ram 1500 without changing the vehicle’s original suspension character. The OESpectrum product line is tuned by application to balance handling control with ride comfort, making it a practical choice for daily-driven trucks that need stable front-end response over uneven pavement. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Compatible with 2019-2025 Ram 1500 front suspension service, this strut uses a gas-charged design and premium-grade construction to help maintain consistent performance. Part number 73117 is also listed with interchange references including Mopar 68404036AD and related OE numbers for the same front application.

What It Helps Address

• Front-end bounce or excessive oscillation
• Noisy or harsh ride over broken pavement
• Reduced steering precision during normal driving
• Worn strut performance that affects vehicle stability
• Loss of controlled damping in the front suspension

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front-position fitment before installation on your Ram 1500. Inspect related suspension components such as mounts, springs, and control arm bushings while the strut is removed. The unit includes mounting hardware, and the gas-charged design should be installed according to service procedures for proper alignment and suspension performance. Part number 73117 should be matched to the vehicle’s front application and OE cross-reference before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Monroe designs the OESpectrum Strut line to restore factory drivability and performance with application-specific tuning. The premium construction, OE-style ride control focus, and direct-fit interchange references support confident replacement selection for Ram 1500 front suspension service.
