Smooth out the ride and keep your classic pony car planted with the Monroe OESpectrum Front Suspension Shock Absorber 5823. This front shock is a direct-fit replacement for the 1971-1973 Ford Mustang and 1971-1973 Mercury Cougar (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details). It is designed to help restore the vehicle's original factory drivability and handling control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.
- Reduced NVH: Twin Technology Active Control System delivers control under most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
- Handling: Full displaced valving tuned to the vehicle adjusts to road extremes, and the larger bore provides more efficient damping control for a consistent, smooth ride.
- Control and durability: A PTFE-banded piston provides consistent sealing between the piston and pressure tube for better control and increased durability.
- Nitrogen gas charge: Helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade, and OE all-weather fluid contains additives to assist with temperature extremes and help reduce oil breakdown.
Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee.
