What It Helps Address

  • Rear-end bounce after bumps or dips
  • Excessive body movement on rough roads
  • Reduced rear suspension control under load
  • Uneven ride quality from worn shock absorbers
  • Handling instability in Ford Ranger, Ford F-150, Ford F-250, and Mazda B-Series trucks

Installation Notes

Verify rear suspension configuration before ordering, especially on Ford Ranger models with High Ryder or FX4-related exclusions and on vehicles with torsion bar front suspension, monobeam front suspension, dual rear wheels, or over-8500 GVW notes. Confirm compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the original shock absorber before installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Quality Assurance

FCS supplies suspension components for direct-fit replacement applications. Part number 342496 is specified for the listed rear fitments and dimensional requirements, including Ford Ranger and Mazda B-Series truck platforms.
