Product Details
Monroe OESpectrum 5657 is engineered to restore the original factory feel of the suspension on the Kia Soul while maintaining handling precision and control.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 553002K100, 553002K800) for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive rear bounce after bumps or dips
- Reduced stability over uneven pavement
- Harsh or noisy rear suspension response
- Worn damping performance from aging factory shocks
- Loss of controlled ride quality in a Kia Soul rear suspension
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the rear mounting style and sleeve dimensions before installation. This shock uses loop bushing and sleeve mounts at both ends, so the existing hardware and mounting points must match the listed LS31 lower mount and LS26 upper mount specifications. Confirm rear fitment on the 2010-2013 Kia Soul and inspect surrounding suspension components, including bushings and mounting points, before replacing the shock absorber. Part number 5657 should be matched to the vehicle’s rear position only.
Quality Assurance
Monroe designs the OESpectrum line to return a vehicle to factory-like drivability while reducing noise, vibration, and harshness. The 5657 shock absorber is built around the listed OE-style fitment and mounting dimensions for the Kia Soul rear suspension.
