Restore steady, controlled rides with the Monroe OESpectrum Rear Suspension Shock Absorber (MPN 5868). This rear-position shock is a direct-fit replacement for the 1975 Volvo 164, 1990-1993 Volvo 240, 1975-1984 Volvo 242, 1975-1989 Volvo 244, 1975-1989 Volvo 245, 1976 and 1978-1981 Volvo 262, 1976-1982 Volvo 264, 1976-1981 Volvo 265, and 1984 Volvo DL and GLE — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list. It is designed to help restore a vehicle's original factory drivability 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 each vehicle and paired with a larger bore for more efficient, consistent damping and a smooth 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 an OE all-weather fluid and self-lubricating fluid seal help resist wear.
