Product Details

The Monroe OESpectrum Light Truck Shock Absorber 37246 is a rear suspension shock absorber for 2003-2008 Honda Pilot and 2001-2006 Acura MDX models. It is built around Monroe’s OESpectrum product line, which is focused on OE-style ride control for vehicles that need stable handling without adding harshness. This shock absorber uses loop bushing and sleeve mounts at both ends, with LS39 mounting codes, and includes a metal dust shield for the exposed rear suspension environment. For shoppers comparing replacement options, this part number 37246 also cross-references KYB 349039 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Rear-end bouncing or excessive oscillation over bumps
• Loose or unsettled handling in a Honda Pilot or Acura MDX
• Noise and vibration coming from worn rear shocks
• Reduced ride control from aging factory suspension components
• Uneven damping performance on stock suspension setups

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year and model before installation: Fits 2003-2008 Honda Pilot, rear; Fits 2001-2006 Acura MDX, rear. Confirm the existing mount style and compare compressed and extended lengths to the original shock before replacement. The listed upper and lower loop bushing and sleeve mounts should match the vehicle’s OE-style suspension layout. Part number 37246 is a rear shock absorber only and should be installed according to the vehicle service procedure.
