Smooth out the ride and keep the rear tires planted with the Monroe OESpectrum Suspension Shock Absorber 5984. This rear-position shock is designed to restore a vehicle's original factory drivability and provide a strong level of handling precision and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, including the 1999-2010 Volkswagen Jetta, 1999-2007 Volkswagen Golf and 1998-2011 Volkswagen Beetle — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine specifics.
- Reduced NVH: Twin Technology Active Control System delivers control under most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
- Exceptional handling: Full displaced valving is tuned to each vehicle and a larger bore provides more efficient damping control for a consistent, smooth ride.
- Control and durability: A PTFE-banded piston maintains consistent sealing between the piston and pressure tube, while OE all-weather fluid contains special additives that help reduce oil breakdown in extreme temperatures.
- Improved contact: A nitrogen gas charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade.
Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does this shock absorber mount?
This is a rear-position suspension shock absorber. It is sold individually, so order the quantity your rear axle requires for your application.
What does a shock absorber do?
It dampens spring oscillations to help control ride motion and keep the tires in contact with the road. This unit uses a nitrogen gas charge to reduce aeration and shock fade.
What are signs my rear shocks may need replacing?
Excessive bounce after bumps, a floaty or unsettled ride, and uneven tire wear are common signs. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Will this fit my vehicle?
It's a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, including the 1999-2010 Volkswagen Jetta and 1999-2007 Volkswagen Golf. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your exact year, make, model and engine.
Should I replace shocks in pairs?
Replacing both sides of the same axle together is recommended for balanced, even ride control. This listing is for one shock, so order two if you're doing the pair.
