Settle a bouncy, unsettled rear end and restore controlled damping with the Monroe OESpectrum Rear Suspension Shock Absorber (MPN 5600). It installs as a direct-fit rear shock for the 2004-2008 Nissan Maxima, designed to help return the vehicle's original factory drivability and ride control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.
- Twin Technology Active Control System: delivers control under most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
- Full displaced valving: tuned specifically to the vehicle and paired with a larger bore for more efficient, consistent damping and a smooth ride.
- PTFE-banded piston: provides consistent sealing between the piston and pressure tube for better control and increased durability.
- Nitrogen gas-charge & OE all-weather fluid: helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade, with additives that assist in extreme temperatures and help reduce oil breakdown.
A self-lubricating fluid seal retains the gas charge and reduces friction against the piston rod to help limit premature wear. Sold individually; for even, balanced ride quality replace both rear shocks as a matched pair. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee.
