- 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.
A shock absorber dampens spring motion to control body movement over the road. A front shock may need replacing if you notice excessive bouncing after bumps, nose-diving under braking, fluid leaking from the shock body, or uneven tire wear. Replacing both front shocks together is recommended for balanced, consistent handling.
