Monroe Shocks

The Monroe Sensa-Trac Load Adjusting rear Shock Absorbers 58645 size is made for the Odyssey rear suspension. But will fit the Pilot with similar rear suspension, But the Monroe web site doesn’t show this 58645 size rear shocks as fitting the Pilot, But If you look at the specs for Pilot replacement rear shocks and the 58645 size rear shocks, they are similar close in specs.

Monoroe rear shocks

No more bottoming out or rear end sagging when loaded down with eight and the hitch carrier on and still a smooth ride when empty

An old thread but also a very useful one. Monroe 58645.. Does anyone have a long-term update using this coil-over shock as far as ride comfort on rough roads including gravel on 1st gen Pilots? Also, has anyone experienced a broken shock chassis mount since these mounts are not really designed to carry weight but now will with the addition of this shocks coil spring? I'm trying to decide between this coil-over shock or Firestone airbags to help reduce my 06 Pilot rear-end squat. I'd be concerned the airbags will wear out or puncture from off-road use. I have already replaced the coil springs with Moog 81649 HD springs but still getting excessive inside rear tire wear. I cannot find worn parts and rear toe-in is in spec but camber is far too negative with any kind of load.
 
working on this myself right now - 08 - tows alot. not sure where to start - all oem rear susp. w 200,000 mi. - atrocious inner tire wear. where to start, where to start. springs and shocks b4 adjustable camber kits? seems to make sense to me but Im no mechanic and thats an understatement!
 
Yes... OP's signature shows he has an 06 Pilot... not sure about the year of the oddysey.

I'll dig around a bit more at Amazon, Monroe, Sears, etc... to see if numbers are the same for 03/04 and his 06. Clearly his pics show this uber-cool shock fits 06's.
58645 load adjuster fits 1999-2004 Odyssey, no listing for Pilot but if you match up sizes, it works. Will be installing on 08 Pilot EX-L soon
 
I put these on an 07 EX-L three weeks ago and my god what a difference. I was still running the OEM Honda's at 162K miles. Car came from Illinoise and all the fasteners were rusted to hell. I Ugga'd one too many Duggas to get the top bolt out on the driver's side and popped the welded nut off. Other than that installation was easy with a floor jack supporting the knuckle to get the shock mounted.

Now the sag is completely gone! I picked up 3/4" ride height in the rear just from these. Still OEM coil springs and bump stops in the rear and original strut assemblies up front. Need to do get to those next.

Will try and get some photos up shortly.
