Product Details

Monroe Max-Air shock absorbers are part of the Max-Air Air Shock Absorber line, a Monroe suspension solution focused on rear load support and ride-height control. The MA727 is a rear air shock absorber for older truck and wagon applications, including select Ford F-100, Ford F-250, Toyota Pickup, Chevrolet LUV, Dodge Raider, and Pontiac wagon fitments. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 504515) for the same application.

Compatible With rear towing and hauling applications such as 1953-1955 Ford F-100, 1961-1964 Ford F-250, 1971-1974 Toyota Pickup, and 1987-1989 Dodge Raider rear suspension setups. The MA727 is also listed for additional rear-fit applications across Buick, Chrysler, Chevrolet, GMC, and Pontiac models shown in the fitment data.

What It Helps Address

  • Rear sag when carrying cargo or towing
  • Loss of ride height after adding weight to the vehicle
  • Uneven rear stance under load
  • Need for adjustable air pressure in a rear shock absorber
  • Replacement of a worn rear air shock on listed classic truck and wagon applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Review the vehicle owner’s manual before adding air pressure, and confirm that the suspension, tires, and transmission can handle the intended load. Some applications require a separate left and right fill system, and Monroe notes AK18 or AK64 Air Line Kit usage for certain replacements or dual-fill setups. Verify upper and lower loop bushing mount dimensions and rear-position fitment before installation.

Quality Assurance

Monroe manufactures the MA727 as part of its Max-Air line for rear load-leveling suspension service. Fitment is application-specific, so confirm the exact year, make, model, and rear mounting configuration against the vehicle listing before ordering.
