Product Information

Full details

This Monroe O.E Spectrum shock absorber (376228SP) is for owners of Audi TT models (2006-2015) and Audi TT Roadster models (2007-2014) seeking to restore OE-level handling and ride comfort. It offers reliable control and reduced NVH through its advanced twin-tube, gas-pressure damping system and RideRefine technology, suitable for vehicles *without* electronic suspension. A key caveat is its specific fitment for the rear axle only, and it is not compatible with vehicles equipped with electronic suspension control.

FAQs

How many shock absorbers do I need for my Audi TT?

You need two shock absorbers for the rear axle. This part number (376228SP) is for one shock absorber, so you will need to purchase two to replace both rear shocks.

Is this shock absorber compatible with electronic suspension?

No, this Monroe O.E Spectrum shock absorber (376228SP) is designed for vehicles *without* electronic suspension control systems.

What is RideRefine Technology?

RideRefine Technology is an engineering approach by Monroe designed to minimize noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), resulting in a quieter and more comfortable ride.

Can I replace just one rear shock absorber?

For optimal performance, safety, and balanced handling, it is strongly recommended to replace shock absorbers in pairs on the same axle. Replacing only one can lead to uneven handling and premature wear on the remaining shock.

What is the difference between O.E Spectrum and other Monroe lines?

The O.E Spectrum line is engineered to meet or exceed Original Equipment (OE) specifications, aiming to replicate the original factory ride and handling characteristics.

How do I know if my shock absorbers need replacing?

Signs include a bouncy ride, excessive body roll during turns, uneven tire wear, clunking noises, or visible leaks from the shock absorber.

Troubleshooting

Vehicle rides rough or bouncy after installation.

Ensure the shock absorber was installed correctly and is the correct part number for your vehicle. Verify that both rear shocks were replaced as a pair. Check for any other damaged or worn suspension components.

Clunking or rattling noises from the rear.

Confirm that all mounting bolts are properly tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Check that the shock boot and any associated hardware are correctly installed and not loose.

Visible oil leaks from the shock absorber.

If oil is observed on the shock body, the unit may be faulty and should be replaced immediately. Contact the point of purchase for warranty information.

  • Durable twin-tube, gas-pressure design for consistent damping.
  • Direct fit for specified Audi TT models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This shock absorber (376228SP) is specifically designed for the rear axle of:

  • Audi TT models (2006-2015)
  • Audi TT Roadster models (2007-2014)

It is crucial to verify that your vehicle *does not* have an electronic suspension control system, as this shock absorber is not compatible with such systems. It replaces OE part numbers: 8J0513029F, 8J0513029K, 8J0513029L, 8J0513029P, 8J0513029Q, and 8J0513029S.

Setup: Installation requires mechanical expertise and proper tools. It is highly recommended to have this part installed by a qualified mechanic to ensure correct fitment and safety. Always replace shock absorbers in pairs (one left and one right on the same axle).

Care: Shock absorbers are a sealed unit and do not require regular maintenance. However, regular visual inspection of the shock body for leaks or damage is advisable. Ensure the surrounding suspension components are kept clean from excessive dirt and debris that could compromise seals over time.
