Help keep the rear of your Mercedes-Benz settled and controlled with the Monroe shock absorber from the Restore line, part number 210372. This rear unit is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1990-1993 Mercedes-Benz 300D, 1994-1996 Mercedes-Benz E320 and 1995 Mercedes-Benz E300. Monroe designed its Restore shocks for consistent performance, giving a high level of handling and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.
- 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 by Monroe for consistent performance.
- Broad coverage: the Restore line covers domestic and import passenger cars, light trucks and SUVs.
As a rear suspension shock absorber, it dampens spring movement at the back of the vehicle to help keep the body stable over bumps. Signs a shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, fluid leaking from the shock body, a floaty or unsettled ride, and uneven tire wear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which vehicles does the Monroe 210372 fit?
It is listed for rear applications on many vehicles, including the 1990-1993 Mercedes-Benz 300D, 1994-1996 Mercedes-Benz E320 and 1995 Mercedes-Benz E300. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
Is this Monroe rear shock absorber gas-charged?
Yes. It uses a nitrogen gas charge that helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade.
What does the banded piston do?
The banded piston helps reduce friction between the piston and the pressure tube. This improves responsiveness to changing road surfaces for smooth operation.
What are signs a rear shock may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, fluid leaking from the shock body, an unsettled ride and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since other suspension parts can cause similar symptoms.
Should I replace both rear shocks at the same time?
Replacing shocks in pairs on the same axle is recommended, since it helps both sides wear and respond evenly for balanced ride and handling.
