Smooth out the ride and keep your tires planted with the Monroe OESpectrum Suspension Shock Absorber 37153, a front-position light-truck damper designed to help restore original factory drivability and handling control. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2011 Ford Ranger, 2001-2009 Mazda B2300, 1998-2001 Mazda B2500, 1998-2007 Mazda B3000, and 1998-2004 Mazda B4000 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
- Exceptional handling: Full displaced valving is tuned specifically to each vehicle and adjusts to road extremes, while a larger bore provides more efficient damping control for a consistent, smooth ride.
- Control and durability: A PTFE-banded piston provides consistent sealing between the piston and pressure tube for better control and increased durability.
- Reduced NVH: The Twin Technology Active Control System delivers control under most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
- Nitrogen gas-charge: Helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade, and OE all-weather fluid resists breakdown in temperature extremes.
Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee. Shocks work as a set — for balanced ride and handling, it's best practice to replace both sides of the axle together; this listing is for one unit.

Common signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, nose dive when braking, uneven or cupped tire wear, and a rougher, less controlled ride. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
What does the nitrogen gas-charge do?
The nitrogen gas-charge is designed to help maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing fluid aeration and shock fade for more consistent ride and handling.
