Smooth out the ride and keep your rear tires planted with the Monroe OESpectrum Suspension Shock Absorber 5505, a rear-position 2012-2015 Honda Civic shock absorber that drops in as a direct-fit replacement (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment). Designed to help restore the vehicle's original factory drivability, it delivers precise handling and damping control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.
- Reduced NVH: Twin Technology Active Control System delivers control under most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
- Exceptional handling: full displaced valving tuned specifically to the vehicle adjusts to road extremes, and a larger bore provides more efficient damping for a smooth, consistent ride.
- Control and durability: a PTFE-banded piston provides consistent sealing between piston and pressure tube, and a nitrogen gas charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade.
- Built to last: OE all-weather fluid contains special additives that assist with extreme temperatures and help reduce oil breakdown, and a self-lubricating fluid seal reduces friction against the piston rod. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee.
Sold individually; for even, balanced ride control, replace both rear shocks together as a matched pair.
