Product Information

Product Details
Part No. 72497
Warranty Details (Limited Lifetime Warranty)
Designed to restore a vehicle's original factory drivability and performance, Monroe OESpectrum struts provide an exceptional level of handling precision and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.

Product Features:
  • REDUCED NOISE, VIBRATION AND HARSHNESS - Twin Technology Active Control System delivers exceptional control under most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness
  • EXCEPTIONAL HANDLING - Rod displaced valving, tuned specifically to each vehicle, adjusts to road extremes to provide consistency and a smooth ride (on most applications)
  • CONSISTENT RIDE - OE all-weather fluid contains special additives to assist with extreme temperatures and help reduce oil breakdown
  • CONTROL AND DURABILITY - PTFE-banded piston provides consistent sealing between piston and pressure tube for better control and increased durability
  • IMPROVES PERFORMANCE - Nitrogen gas charge maintains tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling by reducing aeration (on most applications)
  • LONGER SERVICE LIFE - Chrome-plated piston, bronze reinforced rod guide bearing and special single lip seal provide durability and longer service life (where applicable)
  • OPTIONAL DUST BOOT/JOUNCE BUMPER - Protective dust boot reduces dirt and moisture, while jounce bumper reduces severe suspension movement (both sold separately)
  • BUY WITH CONFIDENCE - Comes with Monroe's limited warranty and exclusive Feel the Difference guarantee

Good overall, noise on turning wheel
Verified Buyer -
The assembly was easy to install. I was happy not to have to disassemble my old strut and just to have new parts top to bottom in my 2009 Honda CRV. Overall I've seen improvement in how the car handles. I'd give it four stars but the new struts sometimes make a loud creaking noise when I turn the wheel. YouTubers say to spray the contact points between the springs and the mounts with lubricant, but something tells me they shouldn't be making noise at all.
I would buy again if I had to
Verified Buyer -
Replaced leaking struts on the CR-V after 120,000 mi. Hope not to have to do again. These should last until we sell it.
Yes excellent quality
Verified Buyer -
Struts are awsome 07 crv rides like new no more noise whenever hitting a bump or hole quiet & smooth ride
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Seems to be ok
Verified Buyer -
I don't know anything about shocks, really. My husband suggested these. I ordered them. He put them on. I have a 2007 Honda CRV and the ride seems to be ok. Smoother than my old ones. Sorry I couldn't be of more help than that.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
