Monroe OESpectrum 37316 Suspension Shock Absorber for Honda Odyssey

Typically I wouldn't attempt a shock replacement job but since the local garage wanted $278.00 to do it and this shock is about $18 I thought the savings justified it. Plus I have access to a lift at my work so I put the van on the lift and removed the old and installed the new. About an hour of work to complete and easier than a brake job. Three bolts per shock is all that's needed to remove and reinstall. Having a lift allowed me to lower the van on a block of wood to compress the shock a little to actually get it on the mounting bolts but aside from that it was a pretty simple process. The shocks are a perfect fit and good quality and make a noticeably smooth ride.

Great value on these for the price, performance, durability and easy installation. Installed these on my 12' odyssey in 2019. It had 130k miles then. Now at 176k miles, they are starting to bottom out when going over speed bumps and when making fast turns into a driveway. Just ordered a new set and will be putting them on as soon.

Day 1 after install. The old OE rear shocks bad, easily compressed, tiny bit of leaking, very slow to return. New Monroe OE shocks added 1 in. ride height back to stock, feels stable under full load, easy install in driveway, fit and finish looked solid, metal body and sleeve. Ride feels solid and compared to worn shocks driving stiffer and cornering improved in minivan interestingly. It reminded me new back shocks significantly effect cornering! Front struts, stabilizers and lower control arms next.

Perfect fit and good ride quality. Fantastic price

Updated review May 2022 I received defective product. In the attached picture, one of the shocks was bad. The inner metal tube rubbed against the outer metal tube and caused rust to form. I can't return these shocks to Amazon for a refund and I can't use Monroe's lifetime warranty either. So it was a waste of money. Original review: September 2021. Replaced the 13 year old Honda OEM rear shocks which didn't have any leaks. These Monroe's seem ok. Easy to install. Fitment is just fine. The ride seem a bit stiffer but I was comparing to the 13-yr old OEM shocks so not sure it's a fair comparison. Overall these Monroe's meet expectations. Only time will tell if they will last as long as the OEM shocks.

It a Monroe work as it should on my honda odyssey

Ordered two (replace both at the same time always) for the rear of our Odyssey. Previous version (aftermarket, not Monroe brand) failed on one side. After proper youtubing the process, was able to remove the old ones and install these without any issues. Best to have a hydraulic jack and a jack stand. 14mm, 17mm socket, torque wrench and a 22mm lug nut wrench. Estimate the first side took 45 minutes and the second side took 30 minutes.

Ride quality is greatly improved over my completely worn out saggy rear. Shocks function perfectly with or without weight, on even or uneven gravel surfaces. No noticeable increase in stiffness or noise level.

Perfect fit on my 2015 Honda Odyssey. Quick remove and install (both in 30 mins) and car rides much better now.

Exactly as described. fit well and rides nice as well. Quick delivery

Easy to fit - I'm not a mechanic but found some useful videos on youtube. Need to replace both shocks on same axle. Total time to jack vehicle, remove wheels, remove & replace both shocks, refit wheels - about an hour.

Good quality construction, mounting bracket tolerance is not as tight as OEM but the fit is the same as original. Nice ride, rear end is better planted than with factory dampers. Recommended purchase.

I like these shocks. They provide good ride for inexpensive price
