Help keep your truck's rear tires in contact with the road over changing surfaces with this Monroe shock absorber from the Restore™ line, part number 210290. It is cataloged for the rear position and serves as a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-specific details.
Monroe designs Restore shocks for consistent performance, with a high level of handling and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness. A suspension shock absorber dampens spring movement as the suspension travels, and this unit uses the following Monroe features to do that job:
- 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 the pressure tube. This is designed to enhance 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 spans domestic and import passenger cars, light trucks and SUVs.
Signs a shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, fluid leaking from the shock body, the rear bottoming out, or uneven tire wear. Other worn suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. Shocks on the same axle are commonly replaced together for balanced handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Monroe rear shock absorber fit my Tacoma?
Part number 210290 is listed for the rear position on the 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine and configuration details that match your truck.
What does the nitrogen gas charge do?
Monroe says the nitrogen gas charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade. That supports improved ride and handling.
What is the banded piston for?
The banded piston helps reduce friction between the piston and the pressure tube. Monroe designed it to enhance responsiveness to changing road surfaces for smooth operation.
What are signs a shock absorber may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, fluid leaking from the shock body, bottoming out, or uneven tire wear. Inspect the suspension first, since other worn parts can cause similar symptoms.
Should I replace rear shocks in pairs?
Replacing both shocks on the same axle together is generally recommended so damping stays balanced from side to side.
