Product Details

The Monroe Restore 210115 shock absorber is engineered for rear suspension service where ride control and road isolation matter. Its steel body, painted black finish, and gas-charged design help maintain damping consistency across everyday driving conditions. The Restore product line focuses on restoring handling response while filtering out harshness, making it a practical choice for older rear suspension platforms that need dependable replacement performance. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 5802, 33082) for the same application.

Compatible With rear applications on Chevrolet Caprice, Buick Regal, Pontiac Grand Prix, Oldsmobile Cutlass, and related platforms, Monroe 210115 is also listed for many other rear-fit classic GM and import vehicles. If you are searching for a rear shock absorber for a 1971-1981 Chevrolet Impala, 1973-1987 Buick Regal, or 1969-1987 Pontiac Grand Prix, this part number is a direct fitment match for those applications.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor rebound control from worn rear shocks
• Harsh ride quality caused by tired suspension damping
• Rear-end instability during braking, cornering, or lane changes
• Noise and vibration from degraded shock absorber performance
• Uneven ride feel on older rear suspension systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear mounting style before installation: this shock uses a loop (eyelet) lower mount and T-bar upper mount. Confirm compressed and extended length requirements against the vehicles rear suspension geometry, and inspect bushings, mounts, and surrounding hardware for wear before replacing the shock absorber. Monroe 210115 is a rear shock absorber for applications such as 1991-1996 Buick Roadmaster, 1966-1996 Chevrolet Caprice, and 1970-1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, so fitment should be checked against the exact year and model listed for your vehicle.
