Product Details

This FCS shock absorber is specified by its working lengths and stroke, which are critical measurements when matching suspension travel and ride-height requirements. The 14.49-inch compressed length and 22.76-inch extended length define the unit’s operating range, while the 8.27-inch stroke indicates how far the shock can move through compression and rebound. For shoppers comparing FCS 342774 against other suspension shock absorber options, these dimensions provide the core data needed for a proper replacement decision.

Searches for vehicle-specific suspension repair parts often include terms like shock absorber for FCS applications, OE replacement shock absorber, and suspension shock absorber by part number 342774. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps or dips
• Poor body control during braking or cornering
• Uneven ride response from a worn shock absorber
• Noisy or unstable suspension movement
• Reduced damping performance from age and mileage

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify compressed length, extended length, and stroke against the original shock absorber before installation. Confirm mounting style, vehicle position, and suspension geometry for the exact application. For fitment-based searches, use the vehicle details listed in your catalog record and match them to the replacement shock absorber dimensions before ordering.
