What This Shock Absorber Helps Address

  • Excessive front-end bounce after bumps or dips
  • Reduced ride control from worn suspension damping
  • Nose dive during braking caused by tired shocks
  • Uneven front suspension response on older vehicles
  • Loose or unsettled handling on classic full-size cars

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify compressed length, extended length, and stroke against the original shock before installation. This front shock absorber is listed for specific vehicle years, makes, models, and positions, including applications with exclusions such as police car, taxi, limousine, and air suspension variants. Match the exact fitment notes for your vehicle before ordering. For best results, inspect related suspension components such as bushings, mounts, and springs during replacement.

FCS identifies this part under its FCS brand line, and the cataloged dimensions provide the key sizing data needed for accurate suspension replacement. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
