• 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, 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.

A suspension shock absorber dampens the up-and-down motion of the springs, helping keep the body and wheels under control over bumps. Signs a Monroe rear shock absorber may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, the rear end floating or bottoming out, fluid leaking from the shock body, or uneven tire wear. Replacing both rear shocks together is recommended for balanced handling.
