Help restore controlled, composed motion at the rear axle with the Monroe OESpectrum Rear Suspension Shock Absorber 5520. This nitrogen gas-charged shock is engineered to help return your vehicle toward its original factory ride and handling, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2020 Chevrolet Sonic. Monroe's OESpectrum design filters out noise, vibration and harshness for a smoother, more controlled ride.
- Reduced noise, vibration & harshness: the Twin Technology Active Control System delivers control across most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
- Exceptional handling: full displaced valving, tuned to the vehicle, adjusts to road extremes while a larger bore provides more efficient damping control for consistency and a smooth ride.
- Control & durability: a PTFE-banded piston maintains consistent sealing between the piston and pressure tube for better control and added durability, with OE all-weather fluid to help resist oil breakdown in temperature extremes.
- Built to last: the nitrogen gas charge reduces aeration and shock fade to help maintain tire-to-road contact, and a self-lubricating fluid seal reduces friction against the piston rod. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee.
