Smooth out the ride and keep firm handling on your Hyundai Sonata or Kia Optima with the Monroe OESpectrum Suspension Strut 73072, a front right unit designed to restore the vehicle's original factory drivability and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: 2015-2019 Hyundai Sonata and 2016-2020 Kia Optima — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
- Reduced NVH: The Twin Technology Active Control System delivers control under most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
- Exceptional handling: Rod-displaced valving, tuned specifically to each vehicle, adjusts to road extremes for consistency and a smooth ride (on most applications).
- Consistent ride: OE all-weather fluid contains special additives to assist with extreme temperatures and help reduce oil breakdown, and a nitrogen gas charge maintains tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration (on most applications).
- Control and durability: A PTFE-banded piston provides consistent sealing between piston and pressure tube for better control and increased durability.
An optional protective dust boot and jounce bumper are sold separately. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and exclusive Feel the Difference Guarantee.

What does a suspension strut do?
It combines a shock absorber with a structural suspension member to dampen road impacts, help control body motion, and maintain tire-to-road contact for a smoother, more controlled ride.
Are the dust boot and jounce bumper included?
No. Monroe lists the protective dust boot and jounce bumper as sold separately, so order them individually if your application needs them.
