Help bring back a composed, controlled ride with the Monroe Restore 210172, a Monroe shock absorber built for consistent performance at the rear of classic GM trucks and SUVs. It is listed for the rear position on the 1973-1986 Chevrolet C10 Suburban, 1973-1991 GMC Jimmy, 1975-1986 Chevrolet C10, 1975-1986 Chevrolet K5 Blazer and 1979-1986 GMC K1500. It also fits many more Chevrolet and GMC pickups, Suburbans and vans. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

This suspension shock absorber is part of Monroe's Restore line. It is designed to give a high level of handling and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.

  • Improves performance: A nitrogen gas charge helps keep the tires in contact with the road for improved ride and handling by reducing aeration and shock fade.
  • Control and durability: A banded piston helps reduce friction between the piston and the pressure tube. This improves responsiveness to changing road surfaces for smooth operation.
  • Performance: Designed and validated for consistent performance.
  • Engineering expertise: Engineered for quality you can count on.

Signs a rear shock may need replacing include:

  • excessive bouncing after bumps
  • the rear of the vehicle squatting or wallowing
  • fluid leaking from the shock
  • uneven tire wear

If a worn shock is the cause, this Monroe rear shock absorber replaces it. Shocks on the same axle are commonly replaced together for balanced handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles does the Monroe 210172 fit?

It fits many classic Chevrolet and GMC pickups, Suburbans, Blazers and vans, including the 1975-1986 Chevrolet C10 and the 1973-1991 GMC Jimmy. See the Buyer's Guide tab for every application.

Is the Monroe 210172 a front or rear shock?

It is cataloged for the rear position on the listed applications.

What does the nitrogen gas charge do?

Monroe says the nitrogen gas charge helps keep the tires in contact with the road by reducing aeration and shock fade. This supports improved ride and handling.

What is the banded piston for?

The banded piston helps reduce friction between the piston and the pressure tube. This helps the shock respond more readily to changing road surfaces for smooth operation.

How can I tell if my rear shocks are worn?

Common signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, fluid leaking from the shock and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause first, because other suspension or tire problems can cause the same symptoms.
