- 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.
- Engineering expertise: Engineered for quality you can count on.
As a suspension shock absorber, it damps spring movement to help keep the tires in contact with the road. Signs a front shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, nose-dive under braking, fluid leaking from the shock, or uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause first, because other suspension parts can produce similar symptoms. Shocks are commonly replaced in pairs on the same axle for balanced handling. Monroe offers Restore shocks for domestic and import passenger cars, light trucks and SUVs. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-specific details on each application.
