Detailed Description

FCS 341615 is a rear suspension shock absorber for vehicles that need controlled rear damping and consistent suspension movement. The listed dimensions help confirm proper travel range for the rear suspension on the Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6, and Saturn Aura applications shown in the fitment data. This part number, 341615, is a practical OE-style replacement choice when the original rear shock is worn, leaking, or no longer controlling body motion as intended. FCS is the brand line identified for this product, and this rear shock absorber is cataloged specifically for the rear position on the listed vehicles.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Rear-end bounce or excessive oscillation after bumps
• Uneven rear suspension control on worn shock assemblies
• Noise or instability from degraded rear damping
• Reduced ride control on Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6, or Saturn Aura rear suspension
• Restoring proper rear suspension travel with the correct compressed and extended lengths

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear-position fitment against the vehicle application before installation. Compare the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to the removed part to confirm suspension travel matches the original setup. Inspect surrounding rear suspension components for wear before replacing the shock absorber, and follow the vehicle service procedure for torque specifications and final tightening at ride height where required.
