Monroe designed its Restore shock absorbers for consistent performance. They deliver 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 the pressure tube. It is intended to enhance responsiveness to changing road surfaces for smooth operation.
- Validated performance: Designed and validated to perform consistently, and engineered for quality you can count on.
As a suspension shock absorber, this part damps spring movement to control how the truck's body rises and settles over bumps. Signs a rear shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, the rear bottoming out, fluid leaking from the shock body, or uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause first, because other suspension parts can produce similar symptoms. Shocks are commonly replaced in pairs on the same axle for balanced handling. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment.
