Product Details

Monro-Matic Plus is Monroe’s value-focused shock absorber line for drivers who want dependable ride control without moving into a premium performance setup. The 32080 uses VPV technology to vary damping response with suspension movement, helping the shock react appropriately across different road conditions.

This part cross-references KYB 344071 and KG5414 for the same application.
