Description

Smooth out a bouncy, unsettled ride and keep your tires planted with the Monroe OESpectrum Rear Suspension Shock Absorber 5897. This rear-position shock is designed to restore a vehicle's original factory drivability and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1982-1990 Chevrolet Celebrity, 1980-1985 Chevrolet Citation and 1984-1985 Chevrolet Citation II — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

Reduced NVH: Twin Technology Active Control System isolates impact-related noise, vibration and harshness under most driving conditions.
Exceptional handling: Full displaced valving is tuned to each vehicle, and the larger bore provides more efficient damping for a smooth, consistent ride.
Control and durability: A PTFE-banded piston seals against the pressure tube, while OE all-weather fluid contains additives to assist with extreme temperatures and help reduce oil breakdown.
Improved contact: Nitrogen gas-charge reduces aeration and shock fade to help maintain tire-to-road contact.

Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions

What position does this shock absorber fit?

It is a rear suspension shock absorber. Replacing shocks in axle pairs is good practice, so consider installing both rear units together for balanced, consistent ride control.

What are signs my rear shocks may need replacing?

Excessive bouncing after bumps, a floaty or unsettled ride, or cupped tire wear can indicate worn shocks. Diagnose the cause before replacing.

Is this a gas-charged shock?
