Smooth out the ride and keep your tires planted with the Monroe OESpectrum Rear Suspension Shock Absorber 5778. This rear shock is a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2008 Chevrolet Corsa, 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6, and 2007-2009 Saturn Aura — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level list. OESpectrum passenger-car shocks are designed to help restore the vehicle's original factory drivability and 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 to the vehicle and paired with a larger bore for more efficient damping and a smooth, consistent ride.
- PTFE-banded piston: provides consistent sealing between the piston and pressure tube for better control and added durability.
- Nitrogen gas-charge: helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade, while OE all-weather fluid resists breakdown in extreme temperatures.
A self-lubricating fluid seal retains the gas charge and reduces friction against the piston rod to help limit premature wear. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee. Sold individually; replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control.
