Monroe Max-Air MA768 Air Shock Absorber

The Monroe Max-Air Air Shock Absorber MA768 is built for rear suspension applications that need added support for towing and hauling. It can be inflated or deflated up to 150 PSI to help maintain level ride height when extra load is added to the vehicle.

Compatible With 1989-1997 Ford Aerostar rear suspension setups, this air shock absorber is a direct-fit option for load-leveling service on the Ford Aerostar. The MA768 is part of the Monroe Max-Air Air Shock Absorber line, which focuses on adjustable air pressure control for vehicles that carry changing cargo or trailer weight.

Detailed Description

The Monroe Max-Air MA768 is an air shock absorber for rear suspension use where load support matters. By adjusting air pressure, the shock helps the vehicle maintain a more level stance when towing, hauling, or carrying heavier cargo. For 1989-1997 Ford Aerostar rear applications, it provides a practical replacement choice when the suspension needs adjustable support rather than a fixed-rate shock.

This part cross-references Continental 49221 for the same application. The MA768 uses LS28 upper and LS26 lower mounting codes, with loop bushing and sleeve mounts sized for the listed fitment. The shock body includes a rubber dust shield and compressed bumper stop, while extended hydraulic lockout and extended bumper stop are not present.

What It Helps Address

• Rear-end sag when cargo or trailer weight is added
• Uneven ride height during towing and hauling
• Reduced suspension support under changing load conditions
• Need for adjustable rear shock pressure on a Ford Aerostar
• Replacement of a worn rear air shock absorber on 1989-1997 Ford Aerostar models

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1989-1997 Ford Aerostar, rear. This application requires a separate left and right fill system with an AK18 or AK64 Air Line Kit. Verify suspension condition, tire load rating, and transmission capacity before setting air pressure. Confirm the mounting style and dimensions against the vehicle before installation.

Quality Assurance

Monroe Max-Air air shocks are engineered for adjustable load support in rear suspension applications. The MA768 is built to the listed dimensions and mounting configuration for the specified Ford Aerostar fitment.
