Whether you need a rear shock absorber for the 1977-1978 Dodge Charger or for one of the other listed applications, this Monroe unit is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. It is built for handling precision and control.
- Reduced noise, vibration and harshness: Monroe's Twin Technology™ Active Control System is designed to deliver control under most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
- Handling: Full displaced valving, tuned specifically to each vehicle, adjusts to road extremes. The larger bore provides more efficient damping control for a consistent, smooth ride.
- Control and durability: A PTFE-banded piston keeps sealing consistent between the piston and the pressure tube.
- Consistent ride: OE all-weather fluid contains special additives that help with extreme temperatures and help reduce oil breakdown.
A nitrogen gas charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade. A self-lubricating fluid seal retains the gas and reduces excessive friction against the piston rod to help reduce premature wear. Replacing both rear shocks at the same time is recommended for balanced handling. Monroe backs this shock with its Limited Lifetime Warranty and its exclusive Feel the Difference™ Guarantee.
