Help your truck stay composed over rough pavement with the Monroe Restore 210212, a MONROE shock absorber built for the front suspension. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-specific details.
Monroe designed its Restore line for consistent performance, with 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.
- 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 response to changing road surfaces for smooth operation.
- Validated design: designed and validated by Monroe for consistent performance.
As a front suspension shock absorber, it damps the up-and-down motion of the springs to help keep the tires in contact with the road. Signs a shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, nose-dive under braking, fluid seeping from the body, or cupped tire wear. Replacing both front shocks together is recommended for balanced handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Monroe 210212 fit my 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma?
It is listed as a direct-fit front shock for the 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-specific details on your truck.
Is this a front or rear shock?
Monroe catalogs the 210212 as a front shock absorber.
What does the nitrogen gas charge do?
It helps keep the tires in contact with the road by reducing aeration and shock fade. This supports steady ride and handling.
Should I replace both front shocks at once?
Replacing shocks in pairs on the same axle is recommended so both sides damp evenly for balanced handling.
What are signs my shocks may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, nose-dive when braking, fluid leaking from the shock body, or cupped tire wear. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause.
