Restore controlled damping and a settled rear ride with the Monroe OESpectrum Shock Absorber 5659, a direct-fit rear suspension shock for the 2000-2008 Chevrolet Astra and 2009-2014 Nissan Maxima (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). This OESpectrum unit is designed to help restore the vehicle's original factory drivability, delivering handling precision and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.
Twin Technology Active Control System: delivers control under most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
Full displaced valving: tuned specifically to each vehicle and paired with a larger bore for more efficient damping control and a smooth, consistent ride.
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, while OE all-weather fluid with special additives helps reduce oil breakdown across temperature extremes.
A self-lubricating fluid seal retains the gas charge and reduces friction against the piston rod to help limit premature wear. Sold individually; replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee.
