2001 Hyundai Santa Fe Rear Shock and Struts

Designed to restore a vehicle’s original factory drivability and performance, Monroe® OESpectrum® light truck shock absorbers provide an exceptional level of handling precision and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.

Product Features:

• EXCEPTIONAL HANDLING — Full displaced valving, tuned specifically to each vehicle, adjusts to road extremes while the larger bore provides more efficient damping control to provide consistency and a smooth ride
• IMPROVES STABILITY — ASD (Acceleration Sensitive Damping) valving technology and fluon-banded piston deliver greater control and handling while improving ride comfort
• IMPROVES PERFORMANCE — Nitrogen gas-charge maintains tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling by reducing aeration and shock fade
• CONSISTENT RIDE — OE all-weather fluid contains special additives to assist with extreme temperatures and help reduce oil breakdown
• BUILT TO LAST — Self-lubricating fluid seal retains gas and reduces excessive friction against the piston rod to help reduce premature wear
• Special Seal: ‘Self-lubricating’ fluid seal designed to retain gas without excessive wear or friction.
• 1-3/8 inch (34.9 mm) bore (On most applications)
• 5/8-inch (15.9 mm) diameter piston rod (On most applications)

TWIN TECHNOLOGY TUNED FOR EXCEPTIONAL CONTROL The Monroe OESpectrum shock absorbers feature our latest, global, original equipment valving technologies for domestic and foreign nameplate applications. Monroe OESpectrum units provide an unprecedented level of handling precision and control while filtering out ride harshness. This unique blend of control and comfort is made possible through Tenneco’s Twin Technology Active Control System, an exclusive internal damping control technology. Tenneco’s Twin Technology consists of the latest Impact Control Valve (ICV), delivers exceptional control by regulating the flow of fluid which helps control vehicle roll and isolate road impact, and a patented Low Speed Tunability (LST) piston design that isolates impact-related noise, vibration, and harshness experienced with rough, bumpy road conditions.

Product Features:

• All Weather Fluid – Contains special modifiers to reduce friction and ensure smooth rod reaction.
• Full Displaced Valving – Better valving range on both the compression and extension cycles.
• Fluon Banded Piston – The fluon band provides consistent sealing between the piston and pressure tube which delivers better control and increased durability.
• 1-3/8 inch Bore – Lower operating pressure than standard 1 inch bore units.
• Twin Technology – Impact Control Valve (ICV), which delivers exceptional control under virtually all driving conditions, and a patented Low Speed Tunability (LST) piston design that isolates impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
• Nitrogen Gas Charged – For improved ride and handling, helps maintain tire to road contact by reducing aeration.
• 5/8inch Piston Rod – Heavy duty nitrocarburized rod* for long service life. (Non Dust Shield Units)
• Special Seal – Self-lubricating fluid seal designed to retain gas without excessive wear or friction.
