SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Jan. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Monroe® Shocks and Struts, a leading global
brand from DRiV, has introduced a complete suspension conversion
kit which expands coverage to more than 1.6 million applications
for Ram 1500 light trucks originally equipped with an air
suspension system. The new kits enable customers to save time,
money, and frustration while restoring a vehicle's ride and
handling profile by converting a worn original equipment (OE) air
suspension to a mechanical suspension.
As temperatures drop, the components within the air suspension
are prone to deformation, allowing the system to lose air and
causing significant loss in ride height. The latest Monroe suspension conversion kit is a
longer-term full suspension replacement that solves this
issue.
The new Monroe conversion kit
covers the front-right, front-left and rear of 2013-2018 Ram 1500
trucks equipped with factory air suspensions, helping restore the
vehicle back to factory ride height. Together, the new kit provides
all the components needed for the job, including front strut
assemblies, rear shock absorbers, rear coil springs and spring
isolators, and jounce bumpers. Monroe provides detailed, step-by-step
instructions to help ensure an efficient, high-quality repair that
will satisfy the vehicle owner. In addition to restoring OE-style
ride and handling, the Monroe
conversion kit can help customers dramatically reduce the cost of
an air suspension repair.
"Vehicle owners often face sticker shock when it's time to
replace a worn-out air suspension," said Joe Robinson, director, product management,
DRiV. "Rather than spending as much as $3,000 to install a new air suspension system,
they can get a much better value by converting to a reliable,
high-quality mechanical suspension from Monroe, helping consumers get more miles from
their vehicle."
In addition to the new suspension conversion kit, Monroe also introduced nearly 20 additional
ride control part numbers covering more than 1.6 million
applications. Now available are 15 Monroe Quick-Strut premium
strut assemblies covering a combined 49 import and six domestic
passenger vehicle applications; one Monroe MagnumTM
commercial vehicle shock absorber exclusively covering 13 domestic
applications; and two Monroe OESpectrum® rear struts
covering 10 import applications. The new Quick-Strut part numbers
include first-to-aftermarket coverage of the following
applications: 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator (front); 2006-2007 Subaru
B9 Tribeca (front); 2008-2014 Subaru Tribeca (front); 2011-2014
Mazda 2 (front); 2015-2017 Chevrolet City Express (front);
2013-2018 Nissan NV200 (front); 2004-2007 BMW 525i and 530i (rear);
2008-2010 BMW 528i and 535i (rear); and 2004-2005 BMW 545i
(rear).
Assembled in Monroe's North
American aftermarket manufacturing facility in Paragould, Ark., Monroe Quick-Strut premium
strut assemblies and OESpectrum struts are covered by a limited
lifetime warranty and the brand's exclusive "Feel the Difference™"
Guarantee money-back consumer offer. Monroe Magnum commercial
vehicle shocks are covered by an exclusive 90-day risk-free ride
offer. Restrictions apply. See www.monroe.com for more
