Smooth out a worn rear end with the MONROE shock absorber — the Monroe OESpectrum rear suspension shock absorber, MPN 5699. It installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2013-2022 Buick Encore and 2013-2022 Chevrolet Trax; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. This OESpectrum unit is designed to help restore the vehicle's original factory drivability and handling precision while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.
Signs a rear shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing over bumps, a floaty or wallowing ride, or uneven tire wear. Shocks wear together, so replacing them as a pair on the axle is recommended for balanced ride control. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee.
