MONROE REFLEX STRUTS

Ideal for vehicles with a higher center of gravity, Monroe Reflex struts feature Acceleration Sensitive Damping (ASD) valving technology that automatically adjusts the unit to absorb the impact, helping to reduce vehicle roll and dive.

Monroe Reflex struts are designed to restore your vehicle’s original drivability and ride performance. Struts perform two main jobs: perform a damping function like shock absorbers and provide structural support for the vehicle suspension, support the spring and hold the tire in an aligned position. As a result, struts affect ride comfort and handling as well as vehicle control, braking, steering, wheel alignment and wear on other suspension components.

USE THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOB

Installing shocks and struts with the wrong tools can result in unseen damage, several respected tool manufacturers offer installation kits for the job. These kits include specially engineered sockets – called pass-through sockets – that allow technicians to install new shock absorbers and struts without spinning the piston rod or gripping it in a way that causes damage. Most Monroe shock absorbers and struts are designed to allow for removal and installation using such tools.

CAUSES & CONSEQUENCES OF STRUT FAILURE

Like many parts on your vehicle, struts are subject to wear. Causes include damaged bushings, exposure to the elements, loss of oil viscosity and deteriorated components. Driving with worn struts can result in problems ranging from reduced braking efficiency, tire wear, loss of stability and damage to other suspension parts.

IMPORTANCE OF ALIGNMENT

Always perform an alignment anytime replacement shocks, struts or other ride control parts are installed. Camber, toe and caster settings can all be affected by installing new struts. Failure to make sure the vehicle’s alignment is within factory specifications can lead to problems like premature tire wear.

REPLACE ALL STRUT COMPONENTS FOR A COMPLETE REPAIR

When replacing a strut, it is important to replace the mount and coil spring at the same time to ensure that your vehicle is restored to original ride height and performance. If the strut is showing signs of wear, it is likely that the mount and coil spring are also wearing out. To simplify the repair, upgrade to a complete strut assembly. It includes the strut mount and coil spring – everything for a strut replacement in a single, fully assembled unit without the use of a spring compressor.
