- All-weather fluid with special additives for extreme temperatures that help reduce oil breakdown
- PTFE-banded piston seals between the piston and pressure tube for control and durability
- Nitrogen gas charge reduces aeration to keep the tire in contact with the road (on most applications)
- Chrome-plated piston, bronze reinforced rod guide bearing and single lip seal for longer service life (where applicable)
Quick facts
- Part: Monroe Shocks & Struts 72950 suspension strut
- Fits: 2011-2017 Jeep Compass and other vehicles
- Position: Front right
- Condition: New
A clunk over bumps, fluid on the strut body or a bouncy ride can mean a strut is worn. These signs alone do not prove the strut is the problem, since a worn sway bar link can make a similar noise. The front axle takes one strut on each side.
Fits
This strut fits the 2011-2017 Jeep Compass and the 2011-2017 Jeep Patriot. This listing is one strut for the front right; the front left of that axle is a separate part and is normally replaced at the same time.
