Product Details

The Monroe Monro-Matic Plus Strut line is built for drivers who want a direct-fit suspension replacement with a focus on ride comfort and value. Part number 801691 uses gas-charged construction and VPV technology to help the strut respond to changing road inputs, while the front strut design supports the original suspension geometry on the listed vehicles. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts G55870 and KYB 341257 for the same application.

Fits 2001-2003 Acura CL, front. Fits 1999-2003 Acura TL, front. Fits 1998-2002 Honda Accord, front. Monroe 801691 is a practical choice when replacing a worn front strut on these vehicles.

Common Problems This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps or dips
• Reduced front-end control during braking and cornering
• Uneven ride quality from a worn strut assembly
• Noisy or unstable suspension movement from aging internal components
• Loss of damping performance on higher-mileage Acura CL, Acura TL, or Honda Accord models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and front position before installation. Compare the compressed length, extended length, and travel length to the removed strut to confirm proper suspension geometry. Inspect related wear items such as upper mounts, springs, and isolators during service, and follow factory torque specifications and alignment procedures after replacement.

Quality Assurance

Monroe engineers the Monro-Matic Plus line as an OE-style suspension replacement with gas-charged construction and VPV damping technology for consistent ride control on the listed Acura and Honda applications.
