Restore Product Line Details

The Monroe Restore line is aimed at drivers who want predictable suspension control without adding adjustable features or air ride components. For Tacoma rear suspension service, Monroe 210290 uses a passive, gas-charged design to help maintain steady damping over changing road conditions while filtering out harshness through the chassis.

Detailed Description

Monroe 210290 is a rear suspension shock absorber for the Toyota Tacoma, covering 2005-2015 model years. It measures 12.05 inches compressed length, 19.69 inches extended length, and 7.64 inches of travel, with a 1.77-inch steel body and a painted black finish.
