Smooth out the ride and keep the rear tires planted with the Monroe OESpectrum Rear Suspension Shock Absorber 5617. It installs as a direct-fit rear damper for the 2007-2013 Volvo C30, 2004-2011 Volvo S40 and 2005-2011 Volvo V50 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment. Designed to help restore the vehicle's original factory drivability and control while filtering out 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.
- Handling: full displaced valving is tuned to each vehicle to adjust to road extremes, and the larger bore provides more efficient damping control for a smooth, consistent ride.
- Control and durability: a PTFE-banded piston provides consistent sealing between the piston and pressure tube, and nitrogen gas-charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade.
- Built to last: OE all-weather fluid with special additives assists in extreme temperatures, and a self-lubricating fluid seal retains gas and reduces friction against the piston rod.
Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions
What position does this shock absorber fit?
It is a rear suspension shock absorber. This listing is for one unit; replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control.
Which vehicles does the Monroe 5617 fit?
It is a direct-fit rear damper for the 2007-2013 Volvo C30, 2004-2011 Volvo S40 and 2005-2011 Volvo V50. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
What does a shock absorber do?
It dampens spring and suspension movement to control body motion and help keep the tire in contact with the road for a more stable, controlled ride.
What are signs my rear shocks may need replacing?
Excessive bouncing, poor ride control, nose-dive or sway, and uneven tire wear can be signs worn shocks may need replacing. Have the suspension diagnosed to confirm the cause.
Is this shock nitrogen gas-charged?
Yes. The nitrogen gas-charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade, and a PTFE-banded piston aids consistent sealing and durability.
