Smooth out the ride and keep the tire planted with the Monroe OESpectrum Suspension Strut 73073, a front-left strut designed to restore original factory drivability. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2015-2019 Hyundai Sonata and 2016-2020 Kia Optima — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
- Reduced noise, vibration & harshness: 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 to the application, adjusts to road extremes for consistency and a smooth ride (on most applications).
- Consistent ride: OE all-weather fluid uses special additives to help with extreme temperatures and reduce oil breakdown.
- Control and durability: a PTFE-banded piston provides consistent sealing between the piston and pressure tube for better control and increased durability.
A nitrogen gas charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration (on most applications), and a chrome-plated piston, bronze-reinforced rod guide bearing and special single-lip seal support longer service life (where applicable). Signs a strut may need replacing include excessive bouncing, nose dive under braking, and uneven tire wear. A protective dust boot and jounce bumper are sold separately. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
