Monroe OESpectrum shocks and struts have a tapered groove machined into the inside housing. While the piston is in the groove, a soft, comfortable ride is achieved, but when the piston travels above or below the groove, during rough roads or severe handling, the valving stiffens up.  Also, the new Monroe Safe-Tech system works with the existing groove-tube technology to provide smoother piston travel, making the Monroe OESpectrums even more responsive than ever to changing road conditions. OESpectrums are designed to be used when a soft / medium valving and not handling is a primary concern. Perfect for average daily use.

• Hardened steel chrome rod
• Low Pressure gas charged
• Twin-tube design
• "Comfort Zone" groove
• "Safe-Tech" piston

Note: Both the OESpectrum and the Monroe Reflex are a similiar design, a twin-tube low pressure unit. The OESpectrum is Monroe's older design, the Reflex uses more modern technology to do the same thing as a OESpectrum.
