This expands Monroe's product coverage to more than 4.2 million vehicles in operation (VIO) in 2022. Offerings include coverage for passenger vehicles and light trucks. Monroe® Logo (PRNewsfoto/Tenneco Inc.) Monroe Quick-Strut assemblies utilize vehicle-specific designs that are durability-tested to meet or exceed OE structural quality standards and durability requirements, featuring coil springs that are up to two times stronger than some competitors. The premium upper strut mount helps ensure smooth steering precision and helps to reduce noise, vibration, harshness and memory steer while reducing body sway for improved vehicle handling. A protective coating throughout resists rust and corrosion for longer wear, even under severe weather conditions. New Quick-Strut product coverage for this year is now offered for more than 1.2 million domestic and import VIO over 19 applications. Coverage in the US and Canada is now available for the 2017-2016 Chevrolet Cruze LT and Premier models (excluding 1.6L Diesel; Monroe part #173062 (front right) and #173063 (front left)) and the 2017-2016 Chevrolet Malibu, all models (Monroe part #173051 (front right) and #173052 (front left)).

Five new part numbers are offered for Monroe OESpectrum shocks and struts, covering nine domestic and 13 imported applications for nearly 3 million VIO. Designed to provide an exceptional level of precise handling and control, OESpectrum shocks and struts feature premium technology specific to each vehicle's ride profile to filter out noise, vibration and harshness while enhancing drivability and performance. Monotube technology is available for vehicles originally equipped with monotube designs from the factory, which helps to maintain vehicle control, increasing stability over bumps or potholes, while a high-pressure nitrogen gas charge maintains tire-to-road contact for improved ride, handling and vehicle control. Exclusive OESpectrum strut coverage is now available for the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ½ Ton, 2WD and 4WD, (excluding Classic (Old Body) LD model and TrailBoss); 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 ½ Ton, 2WD and 4WD (excluding Classic (Old Body) Limited model, Denali and AT4); 2021-2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ½ Ton, 2WD and 4WD (excluding TrailBoss); and 2021-2020 GMC Sierra 1500 ½ Ton, 2WD and 4WD (excluding Denali and AT4).
