What vehicles does the Monroe 72952 strut fit?
It's a direct-fit rear suspension strut for the 2011-2017 Jeep Compass and 2011-2017 Jeep Patriot. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact application for your vehicle.
Is this a front or rear strut?
This is a rear suspension strut. It replaces the original rear unit on the listed Jeep Compass and Patriot applications.
Does it come with a dust boot or jounce bumper?
No. A protective dust boot and jounce bumper are available but sold separately; the boot helps reduce dirt and moisture while the bumper limits severe suspension movement.
Do I need to replace both rear struts at the same time?
Replacing struts in pairs is recommended for balanced, even ride quality. This listing is for one strut, so order two if you plan to do both sides.
What does the OESpectrum design do?
It's tuned to the application to help restore factory drivability and handling, using Twin Technology valving and a nitrogen gas charge to control ride motion and isolate noise, vibration and harshness.
