- Firm control: Full-displaced valving on compression cycles is designed to deliver controlled ride and handling without a harsh ride.
- Larger bore: A bigger 2-in. reserve tube holds up to twice the fluid of standard 1-in. bore shocks, so the shock works more efficiently for a longer service life.
- Built to last: Heavy-duty nitrocarburized rod (non-dust shield units only) and a sintered iron piston enhance durability, while a self-lubricating fluid seal reduces friction against the piston rod.
- Nitrogen gas-charge: Helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade; OE all-weather fluid handles extreme temperatures for smooth rod reaction.
Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and exclusive Feel the Difference Guarantee.
