The part number 48401 is intended for center placement and is listed for vehicles where the OE system was welded together, making it important to inspect the full exhaust assembly before replacement. For 1989 Ford Ranger applications, the fitment notes specify use with a round gasket. For 1990-1992 Ford Ranger applications, the same welded-system note applies. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks \u0026amp; Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Helps Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExhaust leaks caused by a damaged or rusted pipe section.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestricted exhaust flow from a corroded center pipe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise from cracks, holes, or failed welded joints.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eService needs on welded OE exhaust assemblies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible With 1989 Ford Ranger, center, with round gasket.
