Help settle a bouncy front end on your truck with the Monroe shock absorber 210208 from the Monroe Restore line. This front shock is a replacement for the 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 and 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500. It is designed to deliver consistent performance and a high level of handling and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.
- 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.
- Validated performance: designed and validated by Monroe for consistent performance.
- Engineering expertise: engineered for quality you can count on.
As a suspension shock absorber, the 210208 dampens spring motion to help control body movement over bumps and during braking. Signs that a front shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing, nose-dive when stopping, fluid leaking from the shock body, and uneven tire wear. Replacing both front shocks together is recommended for even, balanced handling. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine and application details.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a front shock absorber do?
It dampens the up-and-down motion of the springs, helping control body movement and keep the tires in contact with the road. The 210208 is a front unit.
Which vehicles does the Monroe 210208 fit?
It is listed for the front of the 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 and the 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine and application details.
What signs suggest a front shock may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, nose-dive under braking, fluid leaking from the shock body, and uneven tire wear. These can have other causes, so inspect the suspension first.
What is the benefit of the nitrogen gas charge?
The nitrogen gas charge is designed to reduce aeration and shock fade. This helps maintain tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling.
Should I replace both front shocks at the same time?
Replacing shocks in pairs across the axle is recommended so both sides damp evenly for more balanced handling.
