Settle the ride and keep your rear tires planted with the Monroe OESpectrum Rear Suspension Shock Absorber 5968. This OESpectrum rear shock installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1994-2004 Ford Mustang — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. It's designed to help restore the vehicle's original factory drivability and ride control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.
- Reduced NVH: the Twin Technology Active Control System is built to deliver control across most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
- Handling control: full displaced valving tuned to the vehicle adjusts to road extremes, and a larger bore provides more efficient damping for a smooth, consistent ride.
- Control and durability: a PTFE-banded piston maintains consistent sealing between the piston and pressure tube for improved control and durability.
- Consistent performance: OE all-weather fluid with special additives helps handle temperature extremes and reduce oil breakdown, while the nitrogen gas charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade.
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 and Feel the Difference Guarantee.

What does a shock absorber do?
It dampens spring and suspension motion to help control ride, handling and tire-to-road contact. Worn shocks can allow excessive bounce and reduced control.
Should I replace shocks in pairs?
Shocks are best replaced as a matched pair across the same axle for balanced, even handling. This listing is for one shock; order two for a complete rear-axle replacement.
What are signs my rear shocks may need replacing?
