Reduced noise, vibration and harshness: the Twin Technology Active Control System is designed to deliver control under most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
Tuned handling: rod-displaced valving, tuned to the application, adjusts to road extremes for a consistent, smooth ride (on most applications).
Control and durability: a PTFE-banded piston provides consistent sealing between the piston and pressure tube, and OE all-weather fluid helps reduce oil breakdown in extreme temperatures.
Longer service life: chrome-plated piston, bronze reinforced rod guide bearing and a special single-lip seal support durability (where applicable). A nitrogen gas charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration (on most applications).
Protective dust boot and jounce bumper are sold separately. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and the Feel the Difference Guarantee.
It is a direct-fit front strut for the 2010-2012 Dodge Dakota and 2011 Ram Dakota. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact application for your vehicle.
Is this a front or rear strut?
The 72517 is a front suspension strut. It mounts at the front of the vehicle for the listed Dakota applications.
What does a suspension strut do?
A strut is a structural suspension unit that dampens spring and road motion to help control ride and handling. Worn struts can cause excess bounce, poor ride control, and uneven tire wear.
Are the dust boot and jounce bumper included?
No. The optional protective dust boot and jounce bumper are sold separately, per Monroe. Transfer or replace those components as directed by the service procedure.
Should I replace struts in pairs?
Replacing both sides on the same axle together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced, even ride control. This listing is for the parts as described.
