Detailed Product Features and Specifications
The Monroe Max-Air Air Shock Absorber MA702 features a compressed bumper stop to reduce shock impact and improve ride comfort. Its rubber dust shield safeguards the piston rod from dust and contaminants, extending the shock absorber's service life. The shock's travel length of 8.125 inches allows for smooth suspension movement, while the specific mounting codes (L1/cp4 for lower and Xp7 for upper) ensure compatibility with select GM vehicles. The cross pin mount design with a closed-ended 5/16" hole ID on both ends provides a secure and stable installation.

- Buick Skylark and Regal

It is ideal for restoring or maintaining suspension performance on these classic vehicles, ensuring proper damping and ride stability.

Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Monroe Max-Air Air Shock Absorber MA702, verify the mounting codes and types to ensure proper fitment. The cross pin mount requires alignment with the 5/16" hole ID on both ends.
