Silence the bounce and keep your rear tires planted with the Monroe OESpectrum Shock Absorber 5609 — if you're shopping for a 2006-2011 Honda Civic shock absorber, this rear suspension shock drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2011 Acura CSX and 2006-2011 Honda Civic (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level detail). Designed to help restore the vehicle's original factory ride and handling control while filtering out road 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 to the vehicle adjusts to road extremes, and the larger bore provides more efficient damping for a smooth, consistent ride.
- Control and durability: a PTFE-banded piston maintains 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.
Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee. For balanced ride control, it's best practice to replace both rear shocks together as a matched pair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this shock absorber fit a 2006-2011 Honda Civic?
Yes — the 5609 is a rear suspension shock absorber cataloged for the 2006-2011 Honda Civic and 2006-2011 Acura CSX. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level detail.
Is this a front or rear shock absorber?
It is a rear shock absorber. The catalog lists the 5609 in the rear position for the covered applications.
Should I replace both rear shocks at once?
For balanced, even ride control it's best practice to replace both rear shocks together as a matched pair rather than one at a time.
What are signs a rear shock absorber may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, reduced ride control, and uneven or cupped rear tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Is this OESpectrum shock gas-charged?
Yes. It uses a nitrogen gas-charge that helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade for a more consistent ride.
