Monroe Shocks & Struts Suspension Shock Absorber and Coil Spring Assembly P/N:58640
$185.99

Monroe Shocks & Struts 58640 rear shock absorber for the 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 has a coil spring built in to help limit sag when the truck carries a load.

  • Monroe Load Adjusting line, made for light trucks that tow or carry varying loads
  • Heavy gauge calibrated coil spring reduces sag with loads up to 1,200 lbs, within suspension, tire and transmission limits
  • Full-displaced valving tuned for each application adjusts to road extremes for a consistent ride
  • All-weather fluid with special modifiers handles extreme temperatures; PTFE-banded piston reduces friction against the pressure tube
  • Self-lubricating fluid seal retains gas and reduces friction on the piston rod; heavy-duty nitrocarburized rod is made for long life
  • Nitrogen gas-charge reduces aeration and shock fade to keep tire-to-road contact

How can I tell this rear shock absorber is worn?

Fluid on the shock body, a rear end that sags under load and extra bouncing after bumps can be signs of wear. Have it checked or replaced promptly rather than driving on it.

Does this shock absorber use oil or gas?

This shock absorber's damping type is oil, and a nitrogen gas-charge reduces aeration and shock fade.
