Detailed Description

Monroe Restore 210165 is engineered for rear suspension service on the 1990-1995 Toyota 4Runner. The shock uses a telescopic design with a 13.03-inch compressed length, 21.06-inch extended length, and 8.03-inch stroke, helping it match the listed rear application dimensions. Its steel cylinder and body construction, along with a painted black finish, provide a durable replacement format for routine suspension repair.

The upper stem mount and lower loop bushing mount match the specified fitment, and the included dust shield helps protect the shaft area from road debris.
