Monroe Restore shock absorbers are designed for consistent performance. They deliver a high level of handling and control and help filter out noise, vibration and harshness.
- Nitrogen gas-charge: Designed to 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. It is intended to improve responsiveness to changing road surfaces for smooth operation.
- Validated performance: Designed and validated by Monroe for consistent performance.
- Broad coverage: The Restore line is available for domestic and import passenger cars, light trucks and SUVs.
As a suspension shock absorber, this unit dampens the up-and-down motion of the springs and helps keep the tires in contact with the road. A rear shock may need replacing if you notice excessive bouncing after bumps, rear-end squat under acceleration, fluid leaking from the shock body, or uneven tire wear. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before replacing parts.

What does the nitrogen gas-charge do?
Monroe designed the nitrogen gas-charge to maintain tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling by reducing aeration and shock fade.
What are signs my rear shocks may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, rear squat under acceleration, fluid leaking from the shock body, and uneven tire wear. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause.
Should I replace both rear shocks at the same time?
Replacing shocks in pairs on the same axle is commonly recommended so both sides of the rear suspension damp evenly. Consult your vehicle's service information for installation steps.
