Monroe designs Restore shock absorbers for consistent performance. They are built to provide a high level of handling and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.

• Nitrogen gas charge: Helps 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 the pressure tube, so the shock responds to changing road surfaces with smooth operation.
• 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 front suspension shock absorber damps spring movement, which helps keep the truck from bouncing repeatedly after a bump or dip. Signs a shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing, nose-dive under braking, fluid leaking from the body and uneven tire wear. Shocks on the same axle are commonly replaced together to keep damping balanced from side to side.
