Product Details

Built as a premium-grade suspension shock absorber, Monroe 210388 uses a twin-tube internal design with a steel cylinder and gas-charged construction to help maintain predictable rear suspension control. The shock measures 24.84 inches extended length, 15.21 inches compressed length, and 9.72 inches of stroke, with a 12.4 mm rod diameter and a 1.52-inch body diameter. It is finished in black paint and includes a PE dust shield for added protection.

This Monroe Restore shock absorber 210388 is listed for 2013-2019 Ford Escape rear and 2015-2019 Lincoln MKC rear applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 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 suspension damping
• Uneven ride control during braking or cornering
• Loss of stability from aging rear shocks

Installation Notes

Verify rear fitment by year, make, and model before installation. Monroe 210388 uses a stem upper mount and loop-style lower mount, so inspect the mounting points, bushings, and sleeves during replacement. Because mounting hardware is not listed as included, reuse or replace related hardware as needed based on vehicle condition. After installation, confirm proper suspension seating and road-test the vehicle for noise and ride quality.
