Smooth out the ride and tighten up handling on your classic pony car with the Monroe OESpectrum Front Suspension Shock Absorber 5823. This front shock installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1971-1973 Ford Mustang and 1971-1973 Mercury Cougar, designed to help restore the vehicle's original factory drivability and control.

  • Twin Technology Active Control System: delivers control under most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
  • Full displaced valving: tuned to the vehicle and paired with a larger bore for more efficient damping control and a smooth, consistent ride.
  • 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, while the OE all-weather fluid resists breakdown across temperature extremes.

A self-lubricating fluid seal retains gas and reduces friction against the piston rod to help limit premature wear. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee. If worn front shocks are behind excessive bouncing, nose dive, or poor ride control, replacing them with the 5823 addresses that.
