Help keep the rear of your classic Chevrolet or Pontiac settled and under control with the Monroe shock absorber 210121 from the Monroe Restore line. This rear unit is a direct-fit replacement for the 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro and the 1970-1981 Pontiac Firebird. It is designed for consistent performance and a high level of handling and control, and it filters out noise, vibration and harshness.
- Nitrogen gas charge: reduces aeration and shock fade, which helps keep the tires in contact with the road for improved ride and handling.
- Banded piston: helps reduce friction between the piston and the pressure tube. This makes the shock more responsive to changing road surfaces for smooth operation.
- Validated performance: designed and validated for consistent performance, and engineered for quality you can count on.
- Expanded coverage: the Restore line is offered for domestic and import passenger cars, light trucks and SUVs.
A suspension shock absorber dampens the up-and-down motion of the springs, which helps keep the tires in contact with the road. Signs that a shock may need replacing include:
- excessive bouncing after bumps
- fluid seeping from the shock body
- bottoming out over dips
- cupped or uneven tire wear
