Detailed Product Overview

Monroe Restore 210244 is engineered as a rear suspension shock absorber that filters road harshness while maintaining predictable control. The progressive valving and gas-charged construction help the shock respond smoothly to changing road inputs, making it a practical replacement for worn OE-style rear dampers. With a compressed length of 13.11 in., extended length of 20.87 in., and shock stroke of 7.76 in., this unit is built around the dimensions needed for the listed rear applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 32333 and 37156 for the same application. It also aligns with replacement needs for Chevrolet Uplander rear shock absorber service, Pontiac Montana rear shock replacement, and Buick Terraza rear suspension maintenance. Part number 210244 is a focused fitment solution for restoring rear ride control without changing the vehicles suspension layout.

What This Shock Absorber Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps or dips
• Reduced handling stability during lane changes and cornering
• Harsh or noisy rear suspension operation
• Uneven ride control from worn shock damping
• Loss of composure in rear suspension response on aging vehicles
