Help smooth out the ride and restore factory-level control at the rear of your Volvo with the Monroe OESpectrum Rear Suspension Shock Absorber 5868. This OESpectrum unit is designed to bring back a vehicle's original drivability, delivering handling precision and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness. It's a direct-fit rear shock for many Volvo models, among them the 1990-1993 Volvo 240 and 1975-1989 Volvo 244 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of covered models and years.

  • Reduced NVH: Twin Technology Active Control System delivers control under most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
  • Tuned valving: Full displaced valving, tuned to each vehicle, adjusts to road extremes, and a larger bore provides more efficient damping for a smooth, consistent ride.
  • Durable sealing: A PTFE-banded piston keeps consistent sealing between piston and pressure tube for better control and added durability, while a self-lubricating fluid seal retains gas and reduces friction on the piston rod.
  • Nitrogen gas-charge: Helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade, and OE all-weather fluid helps resist temperature extremes and oil breakdown.

Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee. Signs a rear shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, a floaty or unstable rear end, nose-diving, and uneven tire wear. Sold individually; replacing both sides as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control.

Is this a front or rear shock absorber?

It is a rear suspension shock absorber, as cataloged for the listed Volvo applications.

Do I need to replace both rear shocks at once?

It's sold individually, but replacing both sides together as a matched pair is recommended so the rear axle delivers even, balanced ride control.

What are signs my rear shock may need replacing?

Common signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, a floaty or unstable feel, nose-diving, and uneven tire wear. Have the suspension diagnosed to confirm the cause before replacing.

Is this shock gas-charged?
