Monroe Restore shock absorbers are built for consistent performance. They are designed to provide a high level of handling and control while helping filter out noise, vibration and harshness.
A shock absorber dampens spring and suspension movement and controls how the body settles after bumps and dips. A worn rear shock can cause excessive bouncing, rear-end squat, or a floaty, wandering ride. If that is the cause on your vehicle, the 210197 replaces the failed rear unit.

What does the nitrogen gas charge do?
The nitrogen gas charge is designed to reduce aeration and shock fade. This helps keep the tires in contact with the road for improved ride and handling.
What are signs a suspension shock absorber may need replacing?
Common signs are excessive bouncing after bumps, rear-end squat or bottoming out, fluid leaking from the shock body, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause first, since other suspension parts can cause similar symptoms.
Should rear shocks be replaced in pairs?
Yes, replacing both rear shocks together is recommended best practice. It helps keep damping balanced from side to side across the axle.
