Settle a bouncy rear end and keep your tires planted with the Monroe OESpectrum Rear Suspension Shock Absorber 5965, a nitrogen gas-charged rear shock designed to restore original factory ride and handling.

- Twin Technology Active Control System: tuned to deliver damping control under most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
- Full displaced valving & larger bore: valving is tuned to the vehicle and the larger bore provides more efficient damping control for consistent, smooth damping.
- PTFE-banded piston: provides consistent sealing between the piston and pressure tube for better control and increased durability.
- Nitrogen gas-charge & OE all-weather fluid: helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade, while the all-weather fluid resists breakdown in temperature extremes.
A self-lubricating fluid seal retains gas and reduces friction against the piston rod to help limit premature wear. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty. Shocks work as a pair — replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced ride control; this listing is for one unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles does the Monroe 5965 shock fit?
It's a direct-fit rear shock for the 1992-1995 Ford Cougar, 1992-1997 Ford Thunderbird, and 1992-1997 Mercury Cougar. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
Is this a front or rear shock?
The 5965 is a rear suspension shock absorber for the listed applications.
Do I need to replace both shocks at once?
Shocks wear together, so replacing both rear units as a matched pair is recommended for balanced, even ride control. This listing is for one shock.
What are signs my rear shocks may need replacing?
Excessive bouncing, poor ride control, nose dive or squat, uneven tire wear, or fluid leaking from the shock body can indicate worn shocks. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Is this shock nitrogen gas-charged?
Yes. The nitrogen gas-charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade for improved ride and handling.
