🚗 Monroe OESpectrum 5667 Shock Absorber: Premium Performance for Passenger Cars Review

The first delivered without problems. The second was missing the top nut that was threaded onto the shock absorber rod. Had to drive to Ace Hardware nearby to get it. An hour's work extended to more problems than it should have been!

Threaded OEM shock absorbers, not Monro units. The shocks come with nuts, but on my wife's 2013 Ford Fusion, the factory bolts weren't long enough, so I had to find longer bolts to make them work.

Terrible it must be OE quality not even close. The shaft diameter does not correspond to the nominal diameter. The strut nut in my application is less than half the height of the stem, and due to the Ford design which has a recess in the bracket itself, unless you use multiple washers, do not tighten the nut make up the difference with a wrench, and an outlet is not an option.

It's much shorter than the stem, but won't thread into the top rack mount without special tools. You can't reuse the stem, but since the Monroe's thread pitch doesn't…
