Monroe Restore shock absorbers are designed to deliver consistent performance. They provide a high level of handling and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness. Monroe offers the Restore line for domestic and import passenger cars, light trucks and SUVs.
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.
