Monroe Shocks & Struts Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:5543
Smooth out the ride and keep your rear suspension in check with the Monroe OESpectrum Shock Absorber 5527, a rear-position damper that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2019 Volkswagen Beetle.

Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee. Shocks work as a pair — replacing both rear sides together is recommended for balanced ride control.
