Help keep the ride of your 1996-2005 Toyota RAV4 composed and controlled over rough pavement with this Monroe shock absorber from the Restore line, MPN 210261. This rear unit is built for the 1996-2005 Toyota RAV4. It is designed for consistent performance and a high level of handling and control, while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
A suspension shock absorber dampens spring motion, helping keep the tires planted and the body settled after bumps. Signs a rear shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, the rear bottoming out, fluid leaking from the body, rear sway, or uneven tire wear. If a worn shock is the cause, this Monroe rear shock absorber replaces it. Monroe's Restore line covers domestic and import passenger cars, light trucks and SUVs.

What vehicle does the Monroe 210261 fit?
It fits the rear suspension of the 1996-2005 Toyota RAV4. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.

It helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade, for improved ride and handling.
What is the purpose of the banded piston?
The banded piston helps reduce friction between the piston and the pressure tube. This helps improve responsiveness to changing road surfaces for smooth operation.
What are signs a rear shock may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, the rear bottoming out, fluid leaking from the shock body, rear sway, or uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
Should rear shocks be replaced in pairs?
Replacing both rear shocks at the same time is commonly recommended so damping stays balanced from side to side.
