Detailed Description

The listed compressed length, extended length, and stroke length help confirm suspension travel requirements before installation.

FCS is the brand line identified for this part, and 342526 is cataloged specifically as a suspension shock absorber for rear placement. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

Reduced rear suspension control on worn shock absorbers
Unstable ride quality in loaded vans and SUVs
Rear-end oscillation during braking or road transitions
Uneven damping performance from aging suspension components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, make, model, and configuration before ordering. This part is listed for rear position only, and several applications include specific notes such as single rear wheels or old-style Tahoe and Yukon coverage. Compare the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to the original shock absorber to confirm proper suspension travel. For best results, inspect related rear suspension components for wear before installation.
