Rear Shock Absorber for Classic and Compact Trucks

The FCS 342480 suspension shock absorber is a rear replacement shock built for a wide range of compact pickups and select passenger vehicles. With a compressed length of 12.56 inches, an extended length of 20.75 inches, and an 8.19-inch stroke, it is sized to match the rear suspension travel required by many Nissan, Toyota, Mazda, Dodge, Chevrolet, Mitsubishi, and Pontiac applications.

Use FCS 342480 when you need a rear shock absorber for vehicles such as the Nissan Frontier, Toyota Pickup, and Mazda B2600. The FCS line focuses on direct-fit suspension replacement parts, and this part number is listed for rear-position applications across multiple model years.

This part number, FCS 342480, is also listed for rear use on the Toyota Pickup and Nissan Frontier platforms where the listed dimensions match the suspension geometry.

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

What This Shock Absorber Helps Address

  • Excessive rear-end bounce after bumps
  • Reduced control over rough or uneven roads
  • Rear suspension instability during braking or load changes
  • Worn shock performance on older compact trucks and wagons
  • Ride harshness caused by aging rear dampers

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear shock length and mounting geometry before installation, especially on older Toyota Pickup, Nissan D21, and Chevrolet LUV applications. Compare the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length of the original unit to FCS 342480 to confirm proper suspension travel. Always inspect bushings, mounts, and surrounding hardware for wear before replacing the shock absorber.

Quality Assurance

FCS suspension components are cataloged for direct replacement use across the listed vehicle applications. Part number 342480 is specified with defined dimensional measurements to support accurate rear shock selection for compatible Nissan, Toyota, Mazda, Dodge, Chevrolet, Mitsubishi, and Pontiac models.
