The Monroe Sensa-Trac strut with PSD (position sensitive damping) and the Safe Tech system combines our exclusive precision tapered grooves in the pressure tube with application engineered valving and Fluon banded piston to improve the ride, handling, and safety characteristics of the vehicle. These features allow the Monroe Sensa-Trac strut to adjust more rapidly to changing road and weight conditions than any other available shock absorber.

Product Features:
  • All Weather Fluid: Contains special modifiers to reduce friction and ensure smooth rod reaction.
  • Rod Displaced Valving: Tuned specifically for each application, this valving automatically adjusts to road extremes to provide consistency and ride comfort.
  • Fluon Banded Piston: The fluon band provides consistent sealing between the piston and pressure tube which delivers better control and increased durability.
  • Unique Groove Tube - PSD: Precision tapered grooves in the pressure tube perform like an additional stage of valving for optimum ride tuning.
  • Hardened and Chrome Plated Piston Rod: Long service life.
  • Unique Rod Guide and Single Lip Seal: Bronze reinforced rod guide bearing and special seal provides longer service life and consistent performance.
  • Nitrogen Gas Charged: For improved ride and handling, helps maintain tire to road contact by reducing aeration.
  • Special Dust Boot/Jounce Bumper: Protective dust boot reduces dirt and any moisture build-up. Jounce bumper helps prevent severe suspension movement. Dust boot & jounce bumper sold separately.

                    Struts are identical to stock struts. It takes a little time to compress the spring to install the struts but the van handles much better.

                        I can feel the vehicle handles better now with new struts, if you have all the tools, installing should take approx 2 hours for both.

                        • Q:

                          Have changed shocks but never struts, what is meant by "proper tools"? Is there a compression tool that is required or does a ton of elbow grease work?

                            Yes, you need to use the strut spring tool for replacing the struts.

                        • Q:

                          How hard are these to change in my home garage? I feel I have above average mechanical skills but I have never done struts. Front shocks a long time ago.

                            These are not that hard to do. Using the proper tools, an above average mechanically skilled person should be able to do the work in a few hours with proper instructions.
