Detailed Description

Monroe 210245 is a rear suspension shock absorber engineered for Toyota 4Runner models from 1996 through 2002. The Restore product line is positioned for drivers who want stable control and a smoother ride feel while reducing harshness transmitted through the suspension. This shock uses a passive, telescopic design with gas charging to help maintain consistent performance during normal road use.

Built with a steel cylinder and steel body, this Monroe shock absorber features a black painted finish, a 1.77-inch body diameter, 7.4 inches of travel, and an extended length of 20.24 inches. The upper stem and lower loop bushing mounting arrangement matches the listed rear application, making Monroe 210245 a practical replacement for worn rear shocks on the Toyota 4Runner. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 32334 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce over bumps and uneven pavement
• Reduced rear-end control during braking and cornering
• Harsh ride feel from worn shock absorber internals
• Noise and vibration from aging suspension components
• Uneven damping response in the rear suspension

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner, rear. Confirm the upper stem and lower loop mounting points before installation, and compare compressed and extended lengths to the removed shock. Inspect surrounding bushings, mounts, and hardware for wear before final assembly. Monroe 210245 includes mounting hardware and a dust shield, which can simplify replacement on the rear suspension.
