Help your truck's rear suspension stay controlled and composed over rough pavement with the Monroe shock absorber 210252 from the Restore line. This rear unit is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications and fits many trucks, among them the 2011-2021 Ram 1500 and 2009-2010 Dodge Ram 1500.
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.
- Nitrogen gas charge: helps keep the tires in contact with the road for improved ride and handling by reducing aeration and shock fade.
- Banded piston: helps reduce friction between the piston and pressure tube, enhancing responsiveness to changing road surfaces for smooth operation.
- Validated performance: designed and validated by Monroe 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.
A suspension shock absorber damps the up-and-down motion of the springs. Signs a rear shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, rear sway or squat, fluid leaking from the shock body, and uneven tire wear. Replacing both rear shocks together is commonly recommended for even damping from side to side.

It fits many trucks, including the 2011-2021 Ram 1500 and 2009-2010 Dodge Ram 1500. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of applications.
What does the nitrogen gas charge do?
It is designed to help maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade. Monroe credits it with improved ride and handling.
What are signs my rear shocks may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, fluid leaking from the shock body, rear sway or squat, and uneven tire wear. Other suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first.
Should I replace both rear shocks at the same time?
Replacing rear shocks as a pair is generally recommended so damping stays even from side to side.
