This Monroe rear shock absorber (part number 23456) is designed for owners of select Opel and Vauxhall models (Corsa, Tigra, Vita 1985-1998) seeking to restore reliable rear suspension performance. Its key benefit is providing a stable and controlled ride by effectively damping suspension movements. A potential caveat is the need for professional installation due to the nature of suspension components.

Signs include excessive bouncing, nose-diving during braking, excessive body roll, visible fluid leaks on the shock body, or uneven tire wear.
Yes, it is highly recommended to replace shock absorbers in pairs on the same axle to ensure balanced handling and prevent uneven suspension wear.
Gas pressure shock absorbers use pressurized nitrogen gas to prevent foaming of the hydraulic fluid, leading to more consistent damping performance, especially under heavy use.
A twin-tube shock absorber has two tubes: an inner working cylinder and an outer reservoir. This design is robust and commonly used for everyday driving applications.
Installation requires specific tools and automotive knowledge. Due to safety considerations and the complexity of suspension systems, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended.
This shock absorber is designed for the rear axle of Opel Corsa, Tigra, and Vauxhall Vita models built between 1985 and 1998.
The extended length is 342mm and the compressed length is 440mm.
The shock absorber may be worn out or faulty. Inspect for leaks and consider replacement, preferably in pairs.
Worn shock absorbers can contribute to improper tire contact with the road. Check shock absorber condition and alignment.
This can indicate a loss of damping force. Inspect shock absorbers for leaks and proper function.
While not always the shock absorber itself, check mounting points, bushings, and other suspension components for wear or damage.
Compatibility: This shock absorber is specifically designed for the rear axle of Opel Corsa, Tigra, and Vauxhall Vita models manufactured between 1985 and 1998. Verify your vehicle's year and model, and cross-reference part numbers (e.g., 90445381, 436037, 436038) before purchase.
Setup: Installation of shock absorbers requires specialized tools and knowledge of vehicle suspension systems. It is strongly recommended to have this component installed by a qualified mechanic. Ensure the vehicle is properly supported and safety procedures are followed. Always replace shock absorbers in pairs on the same axle for balanced performance and handling.
Care: Shock absorbers are sealed units and typically do not require user maintenance. However, regularly inspect the surrounding suspension components for leaks, damage, or wear. Keep the exterior of the shock absorber clean from excessive dirt and road salt to prevent corrosion.
