Product Details

Part number 210088 is a Monroe Restore rear shock absorber engineered for direct replacement use on select Hyundai Elantra, Kia Forte, and related compact models.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 5671) for the same application.

The shock uses a steel cylinder, black painted body, and metal dust shield for added protection in exposed rear suspension locations. Monroe 210088 is a rear shock absorber for drivers looking to restore ride control on Kia Forte, Hyundai Elantra, and similar applications.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps
• Loose or unsettled handling over uneven pavement
• Noise and vibration from worn rear shocks
• Reduced damping control during braking and cornering
• Uneven ride quality caused by aging suspension components

Installation Notes

Verify rear fitment by year, make, and model before ordering. This shock uses loop-to-loop mounting with bushing and sleeve ends, so inspect the existing mounting points and hardware condition during replacement. Mounting hardware is not included. Because this is a gas-charged telescopic shock absorber, follow the vehicle service procedure for safe removal and installation.

Quality Assurance

Monroe Restore 210088 is a new, premium-grade suspension shock absorber built with steel construction and application-specific damping characteristics. The Restore line is positioned for consistent performance and everyday ride control in domestic and import passenger vehicles.
