Help keep the back of your pickup settled over rough pavement with the Monroe Restore 210190, a Monroe shock absorber designed to deliver consistent performance. This rear unit is a direct-fit replacement for many listed applications, among them the 1998-2003 Nissan Frontier, 1993-1998 Toyota T100 and 1995-1997 Nissan Pickup; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
Monroe Restore shock absorbers are built to provide a high level of handling and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness. The line covers domestic and import passenger cars, light trucks and SUVs.
- Improves performance: A nitrogen gas charge helps keep the tires in contact with the road by reducing aeration and shock fade, for improved ride and handling.
- Control and durability: A banded piston helps reduce friction between the piston and pressure tube. This is intended to enhance responsiveness to changing road surfaces for smooth operation.
- Performance: Designed and validated for consistent performance.
- Engineering expertise: Engineered for quality you can count on.
A suspension shock absorber dampens the up-and-down motion of the springs, which helps keep the tires in contact with the road. A rear shock may need replacing if you notice any of these signs:
- Excessive bouncing after bumps
- A rear end that floats or sways
- Fluid leaking from the shock body
- Uneven tire wear
