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.
