Detailed Description

Monroe 210403 is engineered for rear suspension use on select Ford trucks, including 1999-2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty, 1997 Ford F-250 HD, 1985-1997 Ford F-350, 1990-1996 Ford F-150, and 1992-1996 Ford F-250. It uses a telescopic shock design with a 10.47-inch stroke, 15.95-inch compressed length, and 26.42-inch extended length to support controlled suspension movement. The gas-charged construction helps maintain consistent damping response, while the steel body, painted finish, and metal dust shield add durability in exposed underbody locations.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 911039 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear-end bounce over bumps
• Reduced handling control from worn rear shocks
• Noisy or harsh rear suspension operation
• Uneven ride quality under load
• Loss of damping consistency in aging suspension systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, make, and model before ordering. This shock uses loop-style upper and lower mounts, so confirm the existing mounting points match the eyelet-and-sleeve configuration. Compare compressed length, extended length, and stroke to the original part during replacement on Ford F-350 Super Duty, Ford F-350, Ford F-250, Ford F-250 HD, and Ford F-150 rear suspension applications. Mounting hardware is not listed as included.
