Help keep the back of your vehicle composed and controlled with the Monroe Restore 210162, a Monroe shock absorber designed for the rear suspension of the listed pickups and SUVs. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2000-2004 Nissan Frontier, 1987-1995 Nissan Pathfinder and 1987-1991 Dodge Ram 50; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.

Monroe built its Restore shocks for consistent performance. They are designed to deliver a high level of handling and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.

  • Nitrogen gas charge: helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade, for improved ride and handling.
  • Banded piston: helps reduce friction between the piston and pressure tube, so the shock responds better to changing road surfaces and operates smoothly.
  • Validated performance: designed and validated for consistent performance, and engineered for quality you can count on.
  • Expanded coverage: the Restore line covers domestic and import passenger cars, light trucks and SUVs.

A suspension shock absorber damps the up-and-down motion of the springs, which helps the rear of the vehicle stay settled over bumps. A rear shock may need replacing if you see excessive bouncing after bumps, fluid leaking from the shock body, rear sway or squat, or uneven tire wear. We recommend replacing both rear shocks together for balanced handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Monroe rear shock absorber fit my 2000-2004 Nissan Frontier?

It is listed for the 2000-2004 Nissan Frontier and the 1987-1995 Nissan Pathfinder, along with many other vehicles. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific fitment.

What does the nitrogen gas charge do?

The nitrogen gas charge reduces aeration and shock fade. This helps keep the tires in contact with the road for a smoother ride and more consistent handling.

What is the banded piston for?

The banded piston helps reduce friction between the piston and the pressure tube, so the shock responds better to changing road surfaces.

What are signs a rear shock may need replacing?

Common signs are excessive bouncing after bumps, fluid leaking from the shock body, rear sway or squat, and uneven tire wear. Inspect the suspension to confirm the cause before replacing parts.

Should I replace both rear shocks at the same time?

Yes, replacing both rear shocks together is recommended. Both sides then damp evenly, which helps give balanced, predictable handling.
