Product Details and Specifications

The Monroe 5515 shock absorber features an extended hydraulic lockout exclusion, meaning it does not include extended hydraulic lockout but does have an extended bumper stop to protect the suspension components during full compression. The shock absorber does not include a dust shield or compressed bumper stop, which is typical for this specific application. The upper mounting code is S8, corresponding to the stem mount design, while the lower mount uses a loop bushing and sleeve mount configuration, ensuring a secure fit and proper alignment on the Mazda 6.
