Help keep the back of your 2014-2019 Kia Soul settled and controlled over uneven roads with the Monroe Restore 210017, a Monroe shock absorber designed for consistent performance in the rear position. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the rear suspension of the 2014-2019 Kia Soul. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-specific details.
Monroe designed its Restore shocks to deliver consistent performance. They help provide a high level of handling and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness. The Restore line covers domestic and import passenger cars, light trucks and SUVs.
- Nitrogen gas charge: helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade, for improved ride and handling.
- Banded piston: helps reduce friction between the piston and pressure tube, so the shock responds smoothly to changing road surfaces.
- Consistent performance: designed and validated by Monroe for consistent performance.
- Engineering expertise: engineered for quality you can count on.
A worn suspension shock absorber may show up as excessive bouncing after bumps, the rear bottoming out, fluid seeping from the shock body, or uneven tire wear. If a failed shock is the cause, this Monroe rear shock absorber replaces it. Replacing both rear shocks together is generally recommended for balanced handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which vehicles does the Monroe 210017 fit?
It is listed for the rear of the 2014-2019 Kia Soul. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-specific application details.
What does the nitrogen gas charge do?
The nitrogen gas charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade. This supports improved ride and handling.
What is the banded piston for?
The banded piston helps reduce friction between the piston and pressure tube, so the shock responds smoothly to changing road surfaces.
What are signs a rear shock may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, the rear bottoming out, fluid leaking from the shock, or uneven tire wear. Other suspension problems can cause these too, so diagnose the cause first.
Should I replace both rear shocks at the same time?
Replacing both rear shocks together is generally recommended so both sides of the axle dampen evenly for balanced handling.
