Smooth out the ride and keep your tires planted with the Monroe Restore Front Suspension Shock Absorber 210117. This nitrogen gas-charged shock installs in the front position and dampens spring and suspension movement to deliver a high level of handling and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness. It's a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro, 1968-1972 Chevrolet Chevelle, 1969-1974 Chevrolet Nova, 1968-1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass, 1967-1969 Pontiac Firebird, 1967-1974 Volvo 142 and 1967-1978 Toyota Corona — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine specifics.
Signs a front shock may need replacing include excessive bounce over bumps, nose-dive under braking, uneven tire wear and reduced ride comfort. Shocks work as a pair — replacing both front units together is recommended for balanced, even handling.
What position does the Monroe 210117 install in?
It is a front suspension shock absorber. The catalog confirms the front position for the listed applications.
Is this shock gas-charged?
Yes. The Monroe Restore 210117 is nitrogen gas-charged, which maintains tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade for improved ride and handling.
Should I replace shocks in pairs?
It's recommended. Shocks wear gradually, so replacing both front units together helps keep damping balanced and handling even. This listing is for one shock.
What are signs my front shocks are worn?
