Help keep the back of your full-size SUV controlled over changing road surfaces with the MONROE shock absorber 210253 from the Monroe Restore line. This rear unit is a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2006 Chevrolet Suburban 1500, 2000-2006 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2000-2006 GMC Yukon and 2000-2006 GMC Yukon XL 1500.
Monroe designed its Restore shock absorbers for consistent performance. They are built to provide a high level of handling and control while filtering 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. This improves responsiveness to changing road surfaces for smooth operation.
- Validated performance: designed and validated to perform consistently.
- Engineering expertise: engineered for quality you can count on.
As a rear suspension shock absorber, it dampens the up-and-down motion of the springs. This helps keep the tires in contact with the road. Signs a shock may need replacing include:
- excessive bouncing after bumps
- fluid seeping from the shock body
- a floaty or wallowing ride
- uneven tire wear
See the "Vehicles it fits" section for complete fitment details.
