Help keep your tires in contact with the road and filter out noise, vibration and harshness with the Monroe shock absorber 210103 from the Restore™ line. It installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2012-2015 Honda Civic. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for complete application details.
Monroe designed Restore shocks to deliver consistent performance. They pair a high level of handling and control with the ability to filter out noise, vibration and harshness. This rear suspension shock absorber carries the line's core features:
- Nitrogen gas charge: helps maintain tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling by reducing aeration and shock fade.
- Banded piston: helps reduce friction between the piston and pressure tube, improving responsiveness to changing road surfaces for smooth operation.
- Validated performance: designed and validated by Monroe for consistent performance.
- Position: rear.
Signs a rear shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, a rear end that wallows or squats, fluid seeping from the shock body, and uneven tire wear. If a worn shock is the cause, this Monroe rear shock absorber replaces it.
