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.
• 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.
• Twin Tube 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.
• Hardened and Chrome Plated Piston Rod – Long service life.
• Nitrogen Gas Charged – For improved ride and handling, helps maintain tire to road contact by reducing aeration.
• Unique Rod Guide Single Lip Seal – Bronze reinforced rod guide bearing and special seal provides longer service life and consistent performance.
• Special Dust Boot/Jounce Bumper – Protective dust boot reduces dirt and any moisture build-up. Jounce bumper helps prevent severe suspension movement. (Dust Boot and Jounce bumper sold separately)
