Smooth out the ride and keep the tires planted with the Monroe OESpectrum Rear Suspension Shock Absorber 5518. This rear-position shock is designed to restore a vehicle's original factory drivability and ride control, dropping in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 2015-2018 Audi Q3, 2015-2018 Audi Q3 Quattro, 2009-2018 Volkswagen Tiguan, and 2017-2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Limited. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.

  • Reduced NVH: A Twin Technology Active Control System is built to isolate impact-related noise, vibration and harshness while delivering control under most driving conditions.
  • Tuned valving: Full displaced valving is tuned to each vehicle and works with a larger bore for more efficient, consistent damping.
  • Control and durability: A PTFE-banded piston maintains sealing between the piston and pressure tube, and OE all-weather fluid helps resist breakdown in extreme temperatures.
  • Nitrogen gas-charge: Helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade for improved ride and handling.

Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee. Sold individually; shocks work as an axle pair, so replacing both rear units together is recommended for balanced ride control.

Is this a front or rear shock absorber?

It is a rear suspension shock absorber, cataloged for the rear position on the listed applications.

Does this listing include two shocks?

No, it is sold individually. Because shocks work as an axle pair, replacing both rear units together is recommended for balanced, even ride control.

What are signs my shock absorber may need replacing?

Common signs include excessive bouncing, nose-diving under braking, poor ride control, or uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as other components can contribute.

What is the nitrogen gas-charge for?

The nitrogen gas-charge is designed to reduce aeration and shock fade, helping maintain tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling.
