Default Monroe to Offer Sensa-Trac Front Struts for 05-07 Odyssey

I saw that Monroe recently added PNs 72334 and 72335 to their catalog. These fit the 05-07 Odysseys. Advance Auto Parts has them listed on their site for $77.99 each, but they are currently unavailable. I contacted Monroe and they said that these will be available on June 1, 2011.

The front struts on our 05 Odyssey are leaking with only 70K miles. I shall be seeking these in June.

I know I'm reviving an old thread here ... does anyone have any update on this? I contacted Monroe through their web site and was told that I'd have to contact a retailer to get availability information. However, Advance Auto Parts (both my local store and via the web site) tells me they have no idea when to expect them.

I replaced the shocks on our Ody with Sensa-Trac's (and an Airlift kit), and would love to do the front too!

I tried to order these from Advance Auto Parts the other day. They have had the parts listed, but zero were availavble for shipping or locally. It is still that way. I'm going to email Monroe this morning.

Yup, I tried the same thing. Hopefully you get more info from Monroe than I did. Thanks for the update.

Advance Auto Parts lists the parts, but none are available.

I received a response. The release is now August 1.

I wonder if this is related to the fact that they listed the same part for 05-10, when the 08-10s have different spring perches.

Hopefully this is just related to the different spring perches and can be resolved quickly. I just received this from customer support.

These part numbers will be coded obsolete. New part numbers will be
released for this application and communicated upon their availability.
Electronic catalogs will be updated in July to reflect this change.

I recently emailed you, to inform that they will be available soon; this is
not the case and I apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you for your interest in our products.

Doh! Thanks a lot for sharing what you were told. I was really hoping to get these swapped out before going on vacation in July ... I may just break down and buy the Honda struts.
