See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment on your vehicle.

  • Reduced NVH: Twin Technology Active Control System is designed to deliver control under most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
  • Handling control: Full displaced valving tuned to each vehicle adjusts to road extremes, and the larger bore supports more efficient damping control for a smooth ride.
  • Durability: A PTFE-banded piston provides consistent sealing between the piston and pressure tube for better control and increased durability.
  • Nitrogen gas-charge: Helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade for improved ride and handling.

OE all-weather fluid carries additives to assist with extreme temperatures and help reduce oil breakdown, while a self-lubricating fluid seal retains gas and reduces friction against the piston rod to limit premature wear. If worn rear shocks are behind excessive bounce, nose dive, or uneven tire wear, this unit replaces them. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee.
