Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro, rear, and 1970-1981 Pontiac Firebird, rear. Replacement requires a separate left and right fill system with an AK18 or AK64 Air Line Kit. Verify mounting style, compressed length, and extended length against the vehicle before installation. Follow the vehicle owner’s manual and suspension limits when setting air pressure.

Quality Assurance

Monroe manufactures the MA708 as part of its Max-Air line for adjustable rear suspension control. Review vehicle load limits and suspension specifications before use to ensure the shock absorber is matched to the application.
