Monroe Shocks & Struts 72517 front suspension strut for the 2010-2012 Dodge Dakota and other vehicles dampens spring movement to help keep the tires on the road. It is designed to restore the vehicle's original factory drivability and handling precision while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.
Fluid leaking down the strut body, a bouncy ride after bumps or a clunk over rough pavement can mean a front strut is worn. Before you replace it, rule out tires, springs, strut mounts and ball joints, since a fault in any of them can also change how the car rides.
This strut fits the 2010-2012 Dodge Dakota and the 2011 Ram Dakota, and each of them takes two, so order two and fit them together.
