Quick facts

  • Part: Monroe Shocks & Struts MA776 shock absorber
  • Fits: 1991-2001 Ford Explorer and other vehicles
  • Position: Rear
  • Condition: New

Fluid leaking from the body, a bouncy ride or a rear end that sags under load can mean a rear shock absorber is worn. Those signs alone do not prove the shock is at fault, since a tired rear spring can also let the back end sag.

Fits

The 1991-2001 Ford Explorer, 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac and 2001-2003 Ford Explorer Sport all take this rear shock absorber, and so do more models. If your truck is not named here, look up its year and model on the Buyer's Guide tab. The listing is sold as a pack of 2.
