Help keep your truck's rear end planted and controlled over changing road surfaces with the Monroe Restore 210170, a Monroe shock absorber designed to deliver consistent performance. It is a direct-fit replacement for the rear of the 1980-1989 Ford F-150 and 1980-1991 Ford F-250.
- 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 pressure tube, improving responsiveness to changing road surfaces for smooth operation.
- Consistent performance: Designed and validated to perform consistently, and engineered for quality you can count on.
- Handling and comfort: Intended to provide a high level of handling and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.
As a Monroe rear shock absorber, the 210170 dampens the up-and-down motion of the rear springs so the body settles after bumps instead of continuing to bounce. Signs a shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, fluid leaking from the shock body, uneven tire wear and a floaty or unsettled ride. Diagnose the cause before replacing any part. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level application details.

Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles does the Monroe 210170 fit?
It is listed for the rear of the 1980-1989 Ford F-150 and the 1980-1991 Ford F-250. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level application details.
What does a suspension shock absorber do?
It dampens spring motion to help keep the tires in contact with the road and the body controlled over bumps, rather than letting it bounce repeatedly after each one.
What does the nitrogen gas-charge do?
Monroe states that the nitrogen gas-charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling by reducing aeration and shock fade.
What are signs a rear shock absorber may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, fluid leaking from the shock body, uneven tire wear and a floaty ride. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause.
What is the banded piston for?
Monroe states that the banded piston helps reduce friction between the piston and the pressure tube. It is intended to improve responsiveness to changing road surfaces for smooth operation.
