Designed to deliver consistent performance while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness, the Monroe shock absorber 210254 from the Restore line is a front unit for the 2000-2001 Nissan Xterra. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed application and is built to provide a high level of handling and control. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-specific details.
- 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, enhancing 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 is available for domestic and import passenger cars, light trucks and SUVs.
As a suspension shock absorber, it damps spring and body motion, helping keep the tires in contact with the road over changing surfaces. Signs this part may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, nose-dive under braking, fluid leaking from the shock body, and uneven tire wear. Replacing both front shocks together is recommended for even, balanced handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicle does the Monroe 210254 fit?
It fits the front of the 2000-2001 Nissan Xterra. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-specific application details.
What does the nitrogen gas charge do?
The nitrogen gas charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade, for improved ride and handling.
What is the banded piston for?
It helps reduce friction between the piston and pressure tube, enhancing responsiveness to changing road surfaces for smooth operation.
What are signs my shock absorber may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, nose-dive when braking, fluid leaking from the shock body, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause first, as other parts can cause similar symptoms.
Should I replace both front shocks at the same time?
Yes, replacing the front shocks as a pair is recommended so both sides damp evenly for balanced handling and control.
