Product Information

Product Details
Part No. 5988
Warranty Details (LIMITED LIFETIME REPLACEMENT)
Designed to restore a vehicle's original factory drivability and performance, Monroe OESpectrum passenger car shock absorbers provide an exceptional level of handling precision and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.

Product Features:
  • REDUCED NOISE, VIBRATION AND HARSHNESS -- Twin Technology Active Control System delivers exceptional control under most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness
  • EXCEPTIONAL HANDLING -- Full displaced valving, tuned specifically to each vehicle, adjusts to road extremes while the larger bore provides more efficient damping control to provide consistency and a smooth ride
  • CONTROL AND DURABILITY -- Fluon-banded piston provides consistent sealing between piston and pressure tube for better control and increased durability
  • CONSISTENT RIDE -- OE all-weather fluid contains special additives to assist with extreme temperatures and help reduce oil breakdown
  • IMPROVES PERFORMANCE -- Nitrogen gas-charge maintains tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling by reducing aeration and shock fade
  • Nitrogen Gas Charged: For improved ride and handling, helps maintain tire to road contact by reducing aeration - on most applications
  • 1/2 inch Diameter Piston Rod: Nitrocarburized rod for long service life. On non-dust shield units only.
  • Special Seal: 'Self-lubricating' fluid seal designed to retain gas without excessive wear or friction.

Perfect fit!
Good product at a fair price. Recommendable.
Verified Buyer - Submitted 7 years ago
I really don't have a negative comment to say. The part fit correctly and I've had it for only 2 weeks and it is performing as intended. The ride is more comfortable and the car handles like it used to. I only wish that I had realized this sooner. The price was fair and reasonable. Hope that they last. Even though it has a limited lifetime warranty, I don't feel like changing the part in case it fails prematurely. I am highly doubtful that it would as the part seemed to be to equal or better than OEM.
I would buy this product again and again
Verified Buyer - Submitted 8 years ago
would definitely purchase again.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I installed this shock #5988 on my 2002 BMW 325i WITHOUT sports package. Should I have purchased the #5998 instead? Did not read the fine details between the two, my ride DOES seem kinda funky now. Is there a noticeable difference between the two?
Verified Reply - Steve
Yes, BMW Driver! You'll need the Monroe OESpectrum Passenger Car Shock Absorber - Part # 5998 for your 2002 BMW 325i without Sport Suspension. The Monroe OESpectrum Passenger Car Shock Absorber - Part # 5988 is a stock replacement for a 2001-05 BMW 325i.
Is this part comparable with the 1999 323i with sport suspension package?
Verified Reply - Steve
No, Will. You'll need the Monroe OESpectrum Passenger Car Shock Absorber - Part # 5981 for your 1999 BMW 323i with Sport Suspension.
The picture does not look like the struts on my car.. Is this an "insert" type replacement ? Will it really fit my '99 BMW 3 convertible ? It's an e-36 body..
Open Reply - Steve
This Monroe Original Equipment Spectrum Passenger Car Shock Absorber Part number 5988 should fit the following BMW models 320i - 2001 - 2005 - Rear, 323i - 1999 - 2000 - Rear, 325i - 2001 - 2005 - Rear, 328i - 1999 - 2000 - Rear, 330i - 2001 - 2005 - Rear.
