- Nitrogen gas charge: helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade, supporting improved ride and handling.
- Banded piston: helps reduce friction between the piston and pressure tube. This is designed to enhance responsiveness to changing road surfaces for smooth operation.
- Validated performance: designed and validated by Monroe for consistent performance.
- Expanded coverage: the Restore line is available for domestic and import passenger cars, light trucks and SUVs.
A shock absorber dampens spring movement to help control body motion over bumps and dips. Signs that a rear shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing, rear-end sag or bottoming out, fluid seeping from the body, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing. Replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for even, balanced handling.
