Monroe Restore shocks are designed for consistent performance. They provide a high level of handling and control and filter 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 for consistent performance, and engineered for quality you can count on.
- Expanded coverage: The Restore line covers domestic and import passenger cars, light trucks and SUVs.
As a suspension shock absorber, this unit damps spring motion at the rear of the vehicle. A rear shock may need replacing if you notice continued bouncing after bumps, excessive body sway, fluid leaking from the shock body, or uneven tire wear. Replacing rear shocks as a matched pair is recommended for balanced handling.

What does the nitrogen gas charge do?
The nitrogen gas charge is designed to reduce aeration and shock fade. This helps the shock maintain tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling.
What are signs my rear shocks may need replacing?
A worn shock can cause continued bouncing after bumps, excessive body sway, fluid leaking from the shock body or uneven tire wear. Inspect the suspension to confirm the cause before replacing.
