Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear-position fitment before ordering, since Monroe Restore 210201 is not a front shock. Confirm loop-style upper and lower mounts, compressed length, and extended length against the original part before installation. Inspect the mounting bushings, sleeves, and surrounding suspension hardware for wear, and replace any damaged components during service. Because mounting hardware is not listed as included, reuse or source the required hardware separately as needed.

Monroe 210201 is a new premium-grade replacement shock absorber designed to meet the demands of rear suspension service on classic Dodge, Chevrolet, GMC, and Plymouth vans.
