Monroe Max-Air MA776 Rear Air Shock

The Monroe Max-Air Air Shock Absorber MA776 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 weight is added, with capacity limited by the vehicle’s suspension, tires, and transmission.

Compatible With Ford Explorer, Ford Explorer Sport, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, Mercury Mountaineer, and Mazda Navajo rear applications, this Monroe Max-Air shock absorber is a practical OE-style replacement for load-leveling use. The MA776 part number is commonly searched for rear air shock replacement on Ford Explorer towing setups and Mercury Mountaineer hauling applications.

Product Details

Monroe Max-Air shock absorbers are part of Monroe’s load-adjustable shock line for vehicles that carry changing cargo or tow regularly. The MA776 is a rear air shock absorber with a cross pin upper mount and loop bushing lower mount, making it a fitment-specific replacement for select Ford, Mercury, and Mazda rear suspension applications. This part cross-references Continental 49225 and 49232 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Rear sag when carrying cargo or towing
  • Uneven ride height after adding load
  • Reduced suspension support in hauling conditions
  • Need for adjustable rear shock pressure
  • Replacement of worn rear air shocks on supported vehicles

Installation Notes

Fits 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, rear; 2001-2003 Ford Explorer Sport, rear; 1995-2001 Ford Explorer, rear; 1997-2001 Mercury Mountaineer, rear; 1991-1994 Ford Explorer, rear; and 1991-1994 Mazda Navajo, rear. For 1995-2001 Ford Explorer and 1991-1994 Ford Explorer applications, 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 systems if desired. Replacement on Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer rear air suspension setups requires attention to the vehicle’s existing air line configuration and mounting style.

Quality Assurance

Monroe manufactures the Max-Air line as a load-adjustable shock absorber solution for rear suspension service. Verify vehicle year, model, and rear suspension configuration before installation to confirm MA776 fitment.
