Monroe Restore shock absorbers are designed to deliver consistent performance, providing a high level of handling and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.
- Improves performance: A nitrogen gas charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling by reducing aeration and shock fade.
- Control and durability: A banded piston helps reduce friction between the piston and pressure tube, improving responsiveness to changing road surfaces for smooth operation.
- Performance: Designed and validated for consistent performance.
- Engineering expertise: Engineered for quality you can count on.
A suspension shock absorber dampens spring movement so the vehicle does not keep bouncing after a bump. Signs this front shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing, nose-dive under braking, fluid leaking from the shock body and uneven tire wear. Shocks are commonly replaced in pairs on the same axle for balanced handling. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-specific fitment details.
