FCS 341512 Front Suspension Shock Absorber

FCS 341512 is a front suspension shock absorber built for a wide range of passenger vehicles and light trucks. With a compressed length of 9.17 inches, extended length of 14.09 inches, and 4.92 inches of stroke, it provides the travel needed for front suspension control across multiple OE-style applications.

Compatible With Chevrolet Astro and GMC Safari front suspension service, as well as Dodge Dakota, Dodge Durango, Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, and other listed front applications. The FCS 341512 part number is used for direct-fit replacement searches across these vehicle platforms.

Key Features

  • Front suspension shock absorber for listed applications
  • Compressed length: 9.17 inches
  • Extended length: 14.09 inches
  • Stroke length: 4.92 inches
  • OE-style fitment coverage across multiple makes and models
  • FCS 341512 identification for catalog and service matching

Product Details

This FCS shock absorber is specified for front-position use on a broad vehicle range, including Chevrolet Astro, GMC Safari, Dodge Dakota, Dodge Durango, Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, Chevrolet Caprice, Chevrolet Impala, Ford LTD, Pontiac Parisienne, Pontiac Laurentian, Mercury Marauder, Oldsmobile Starfire, Cadillac Eldorado, and other listed front applications. The dimensional specs are important for matching suspension travel and maintaining proper front-end control during compression and rebound. FCS 341512 is a practical replacement choice when the original front shock absorber has worn damping performance or no longer maintains consistent ride control.

FCS is the brand line identified for this part, and this listing centers on the front shock absorber application rather than a broader suspension kit or accessory package. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Excessive front-end bounce after bumps or dips
  • Reduced damping control from a worn shock absorber
  • Front suspension instability during braking or cornering
  • Uneven ride feel caused by aging suspension components
  • Loss of consistent front suspension travel control

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Verify front-position fitment against the vehicle listing before installation.
  • Match compressed and extended length to the original shock absorber dimensions.
  • Inspect related suspension components such as mounts, bushings, and springs during service.
  • For 1958-1960 Cadillac Eldorado applications, exclude air suspension as noted in the fitment data.
  • For police car and tax applications listed on select Ford, Mercury, and Chevrolet models, confirm the vehicle configuration before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Fitment is defined by the listed vehicle applications and dimensional specifications for front suspension service. Confirm year, make, model, and position against the catalog data for accurate replacement selection.
