Smooth out a worn rear ride and restore controlled damping with the Monroe Shocks & Struts OESpectrum Suspension Shock Absorber 5668. This rear shock installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2007 Saturn Ion (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment), and is designed to help restore the vehicle's original factory drivability and handling precision.

  • Reduced noise, vibration & harshness: Twin Technology Active Control System delivers control under most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
  • Tuned damping: Full displaced valving, tuned to the vehicle, adjusts to road extremes while a larger bore provides more efficient damping control for a smooth, consistent ride.
  • Control & durability: A PTFE-banded piston provides consistent sealing between the piston and pressure tube for better control and increased durability.
  • Nitrogen gas-charge: Helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade, and OE all-weather fluid with special additives helps handle extreme temperatures.

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. Sold individually; replacing both rear shocks together is recommended for balanced ride control.
