Product Details

Monroe’s OESpectrum Monotube line is focused on OE-style ride control for vehicles that were originally equipped with monotube shock absorbers. The 39040 rear shock absorber is shaped around the factory mounting style and suspension geometry used on select Volvo S60, Volvo V70, and Volvo S80 models. Its design helps reduce harshness while maintaining stable damping response over uneven pavement and normal road inputs.

This part cross-references KYB 553385 for the same application.

What This Shock Absorber Helps Address

• Rear-end bounce or excessive oscillation after bumps
• Loose or inconsistent handling feel from worn shock absorbers
• Noise and vibration transmitted through the rear suspension
• Reduced ride control during braking, cornering, or highway driving
• Wear-related loss of damping performance in the rear suspension

Verify rear suspension configuration before ordering. This Monroe 39040 shock absorber is listed for 2001-2009 Volvo S60 rear without Electronic Adjustable Suspension, 2001-2007 Volvo V70 rear without Electronic Adjustable Suspension, 2006 Volvo S80 rear to 7/06 without Four-C Adaptive Suspension and without Self Leveling Suspension, 1999-2005 Volvo S80 rear without Four-C Adaptive Suspension and without Self Leveling Suspension, and 2000 Volvo V70 rear from 2/00 without Electronic Adjustable Suspension.
