Product Details

Monroe Max-Air shock absorbers are part of the Max-Air Air Shock Absorber line, which focuses on adjustable rear suspension support for vehicles that carry changing loads. The MA706 uses an air-charged design to help keep the Chevrolet Nova rear suspension at a more consistent height when weight is added, making it a practical choice for hauling, towing-related load balance, or restoring rear stance after cargo is placed in the vehicle. This part cross-references Continental 49193 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Helps Address

  • Rear sag when cargo is added
  • Uneven ride height under load
  • Reduced rear suspension support during hauling
  • Need for adjustable air pressure to fine-tune stance
  • Worn rear shock performance on a Chevrolet Nova

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1969-1972 Chevrolet Nova, rear, with single leaf rear spring. Use AK18 air line kit to replace a single air shock fill system if needed, or AK64 air line kit to add separate left and right air shock fill control if desired. Verify mount dimensions, suspension clearance, and vehicle specifications before installation. Follow the vehicle owner’s manual for load and pressure limits.

Quality Assurance

Monroe manufactures the MA706 as part of its Max-Air line for adjustable rear suspension support. Final load capacity is limited by the vehicle’s suspension, tires, and transmission, so pressure settings should be matched to the vehicle’s published limits.
