Restore Product Line Details

The Monroe Restore line is focused on restoring controlled ride behavior with a balance of handling and comfort. This shock absorber is engineered to deliver consistent performance while reducing harshness from the road surface, making it a practical replacement choice for aging front suspension components on Chevrolet S10, GMC Sonoma, and Isuzu Hombre trucks.

Detailed Description

Monroe 210224 is a new front shock absorber with a 1.77-inch body diameter, 4.25 inches of shock stroke, and 12.6 inches of extended length. The steel body and painted finish support durable service, while the gas-charged internal design helps maintain damping consistency. It uses a stem upper mount and T-bar lower mount, with the shock absorber body end measured from the center of the T-bar and the rod end measured from the base of the stem. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 32300 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce over bumps
• Loose or unsettled steering feel on rough roads
