Smooth out rear-end impacts and keep your tires planted with the Monroe OESpectrum Rear Suspension Shock Absorber 37156. This rear-position OESpectrum unit is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2005-2009 Chevrolet Uplander, 1999-2009 Pontiac Montana and 1997-2005 Chevrolet Venture — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list. It is designed to help restore the vehicle's original factory drivability while filtering out impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
- Exceptional handling: Full displaced valving is tuned to the specific vehicle and a larger bore provides more efficient damping control 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 is designed to deliver 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, using OE all-weather fluid formulated to resist oil breakdown across temperature extremes.
A self-lubricating fluid seal retains the gas charge and reduces friction against the piston rod to help limit premature wear. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee. Sold individually; for even, balanced ride control it's best to replace both rear shocks as a matched pair.

Is this shock sold as a pair?
It is sold individually. For even, balanced ride control it's best to replace both rear shocks together as a matched pair.
What are signs my rear shocks may need replacing?
Excessive bouncing after bumps, nose dive, rear-end sag, uneven or cupped tire wear, and reduced ride control can be signs the shocks may need replacing. Diagnose the cause before ordering.
Is this a gas-charged shock?
Yes. It uses a nitrogen gas-charge that helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade, along with OE all-weather fluid designed to resist oil breakdown.
