• Harsh or noisy ride from worn shock absorbers
• Uneven damping response in the rear suspension
• Loss of stability on rough or uneven roads

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, make, and model before installation. This shock uses an upper stem mount and a lower loop mount, so confirm the mounting points match the vehicle before removal of the old unit. Inspect surrounding suspension bushings, hardware, and mounting surfaces for wear or corrosion during replacement. Because mounting hardware is not listed as included, reuse or replace hardware as needed based on vehicle condition.

Quality Assurance

Monroe Restore shocks are new replacement components built for domestic and import passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs. The Restore line is positioned to return consistent ride control and help maintain a quieter, more composed suspension feel in everyday use.
