Detailed Description

FCS 341594 is a suspension shock absorber for the front position on compatible Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana van applications. The listed dimensions help confirm proper suspension travel: 8.66 inches compressed, 13.11 inches extended, and 4.45 inches of stroke. This makes part number 341594 a direct-fit option for owners servicing front suspension on Express 1500 and Savana 1500 models from 2003-2014, as well as Express 2500 and Savana 2500 models from 2003-2007 with 7300 GVW. FCS 341594 is a practical replacement choice when matching the original front shock absorber dimensions and fitment requirements.

FCS is the brand line identified for this part, and 341594 follows that product line designation for front shock absorber applications in the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana platform.

What This Part Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce over uneven roads
• Reduced control from worn front shock absorber damping
• Front suspension instability during braking or cornering
• Ride harshness caused by a fatigued shock absorber
• Suspension noise related to worn front damping components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and front-position fitment before ordering. For 2500 applications, confirm the 7300 GVW requirement listed in the fitment data. Compare the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to the original part to confirm suspension travel and mounting geometry. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
