Product Details

Monroe Restore 210137 is engineered as a premium-grade rear shock absorber for passenger cars and light-duty rear suspension setups that use a telescopic shock design. The gas-charged construction helps maintain consistent damping response, while the steel body and painted finish provide a durable service replacement format. With a compressed length of 12.21 in., extended length of 20.32 in., and shock stroke of 8.11 in., this unit is built around the rear suspension geometry used on 1981-2002 Lincoln Town Car, 1992-2002 Ford Crown Victoria, 1992-2002 Ford Grand Marquis, 1983-2002 Mercury Grand Marquis, 1987-1991 Ford LTD Crown Victoria, 1987-1991 Mercury Colony Park, and 1983-1986 Ford LTD applications. Monroe 210137 is a practical choice when restoring rear ride control on full-size Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln platforms.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 5961 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps or dips
• Loose or unsettled rear-end handling
• Noise and vibration from worn shock components
• Reduced control during braking or lane changes
• Uneven ride quality caused by tired rear dampers

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear mount style before installation: upper stem and lower loop (eyelet) bushing. Confirm compressed and extended length against the original shock and inspect surrounding bushings and mounting points for wear. Because mounting hardware is included, replacement can be more straightforward, but the vehicle should still be checked for proper ride height and suspension condition after installation. Monroe Restore 210137 is a rear shock absorber only and does not include a spring or strut assembly.

Quality Assurance

Monroe Restore is positioned as a premium replacement line focused on consistent performance and ride control. Monroe 210137 is a new shock absorber built with a painted steel body, gas-charged design, and included dust shield for service use on rear suspension applications.
