Smooth out a worn rear ride and help restore controlled damping with the Monroe OESpectrum Rear Suspension Shock Absorber Assembly 15611. This preassembled rear unit drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2013 Audi A3, 2006-2013 Audi A3 Quattro, 2010-2014 Volkswagen Golf, 2006-2014 Volkswagen GTI, 2005-2014 Volkswagen Jetta, 2008 Volkswagen R32, and 2006-2009 Volkswagen Rabbit — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level details.
- Saves install time: ships with a preassembled upper mount, shock, compression bumper and dirt shield for a quick, straightforward replacement.
- Complete repair: the premium preassembled upper mount matches the OE design and includes new Monroe Strut-Mate mounting components.
- Consistent ride: OE all-weather fluid carries special additives to handle extreme temperatures and help reduce oil breakdown, while full displaced valving is tuned to the vehicle and a larger bore aids damping control.
- Control and durability: a PTFE-banded piston provides consistent sealing against the pressure tube, and a nitrogen gas charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade.
Twin Technology Active Control System is designed to isolate impact-related noise, vibration and harshness. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee.
