Smooth out a bouncy, worn rear ride with the Monroe OESpectrum Rear Suspension Shock Absorber 37073, a light-truck shock designed to restore a vehicle's original factory drivability and control. It fits many vehicles and drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, among them the 1998-2003 Nissan Frontier, 1993-1998 Toyota T100 and 1995-1997 Nissan Pickup (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list).
- Exceptional handling: Full displaced valving, tuned specifically to each vehicle, adjusts to road extremes while a larger bore delivers more efficient damping for a consistent, smooth ride.
- Control and durability: A PTFE-banded piston maintains consistent sealing between the piston and pressure tube for better control and increased durability.
- Reduced NVH: The Twin Technology Active Control System helps isolate impact-related noise, vibration and harshness under most driving conditions.
- Improved performance: A nitrogen gas charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact and reduces aeration and shock fade for improved ride and handling.
OE all-weather fluid with special additives helps handle temperature extremes and reduce oil breakdown, and a self-lubricating fluid seal retains gas while reducing friction against the piston rod to help limit premature wear. If worn rear shocks are causing excessive bounce, poor handling, or uneven tire wear, this OESpectrum unit replaces them. Replacing rear shocks as a pair is recommended for balanced ride control. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and exclusive Feel the Difference Guarantee.
