EXCEPTIONAL HANDLING -- Full displaced valving, tuned specifically to each vehicle, adjusts to road extremes while the larger bore provides more efficient damping control to provide consistency and a smooth ride. CONTROL AND DURABILITY -- Fluon-banded piston provides consistent sealing between piston and pressure tube for better control and increased durability. CONSISTENT RIDE -- OE all-weather fluid contains special additives to assist with extreme temperatures and help reduce oil breakdown. IMPROVES PERFORMANCE -- Nitrogen gas-charge maintains tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling by reducing aeration and shock fade.

Smooth Ride with Reliable Shocks

The Monroe shock absorber has exceeded my expectations. Based on my experience, this automotive replacement part has offered a smooth ride on even the bumpiest roads .The OESpectrum technology ensures better control and handling, making it a great choice for any car owner. The only downside is that it is slightly pricier than other brands, but the quality is worth the investment..

Pros
  • Provides superior handling and control on the road due to its advanced damping technology.
Cons
  • Its high-quality materials come at a higher price point compared to standard shock absorbers.

Disappointing Suspension Upgrade for Automotive Needs

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Lack of durability and performance

Great product and price

I bought two of these shocks to replace the rear shocks on my 2005 Volvo S40 T5. They arrived quickly and were easier to install than I thought (this was my first attempt at something like this).

  • Shocks
