Monroe Shocks & Struts Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:5553
$78.99
Smooth out rear ride quality and keep your tires planted with the Monroe OESpectrum Rear Suspension Shock Absorber (P/N 5553). It's a rear-position shock designed to restore a vehicle's original factory drivability and performance, dropping in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2014 Volkswagen Jetta (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment).
- Consistent ride: OE all-weather fluid carries special additives that help handle extreme temperatures and reduce oil breakdown.
- Exceptional handling: Full displaced valving is tuned to the vehicle and works with a larger bore for more efficient damping control and a smooth ride.
- Control and durability: A PTFE-banded piston provides consistent sealing between the piston and pressure tube for better control and increased durability.
- Improved performance: Nitrogen gas-charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade.
Its Twin Technology Active Control System is built to isolate impact-related noise, vibration and harshness under most driving conditions, while a self-lubricating fluid seal retains gas and reduces friction against the piston rod to help limit premature wear. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee.
