The FCS brand line focuses on suspension replacement components, and FCS 341604 follows that approach with application-specific dimensions for the rear shock location. The measured compressed and extended lengths, along with the stroke length, are the key specifications to verify against the vehicle’s suspension travel before installation.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive body movement over uneven pavement
• Reduced rear suspension control
• Uneven ride behavior at the rear of the vehicle
• Wear-related shock absorber replacement on a Kia Sportage

Confirm rear mounting dimensions and suspension travel before installation. Compare the existing shock absorber’s compressed length, extended length, and stroke to FCS 341604 to ensure proper fit on the 1995-2002 Kia Sportage rear position. Always inspect surrounding suspension components for wear during replacement.
