Help keep the back of your truck composed over rough pavement with the Monroe shock absorber 210459 from the Monroe Restore line. It is a direct-fit replacement for the rear of the 2005-2012 Dodge Dakota, 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Raider, and 2011 Ram Dakota.
Restore shocks are designed for consistent performance. They provide a high level of handling and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.
- Nitrogen gas charge: helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade, for improved ride and handling.
- Banded piston: helps reduce friction between the piston and the 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 is offered for domestic and import passenger cars, light trucks and SUVs.
A suspension shock absorber damps spring movement to help control how the vehicle rides and handles. Signs that a rear shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, extra body movement, fluid seeping from the shock body, and uneven tire wear. Replacing both rear shocks together is generally recommended for balanced handling. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for complete application details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which vehicles does this Monroe rear shock absorber fit?
It fits the rear of the 2005-2012 Dodge Dakota, 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Raider, and 2011 Ram Dakota. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for complete application details.
What does the nitrogen gas charge do?
The nitrogen gas charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade. Monroe designed it to improve ride and handling.
What is the benefit of the banded piston?
The banded piston helps reduce friction between the piston and the pressure tube. This helps the shock respond to changing road surfaces for smooth operation.
What are signs a rear shock may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, extra body movement, fluid leaking from the shock, and uneven tire wear. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before replacing parts.
Should I replace both rear shocks at the same time?
Replacing rear shocks as a pair is generally recommended. That way both sides damp evenly, which supports balanced handling.
