Detailed Description

FCS DT355185 is a front strut engineered for vehicles listed with a monotube performance upgrade configuration. The dimensional specs are important for suspension travel and ride-height compatibility: the 15.98-inch compressed length, 20.71-inch extended length, and 4.73-inch stroke length help define how the strut operates through compression and rebound. This makes it a direct-fit option for 2014-2017 Ford Expedition front applications, 2014-2017 Lincoln Navigator front applications, and the 2014 Ford F-150 front application shown in the fitment data. If you are replacing a front suspension strut on a Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, or F-150, DT355185 is the part number to verify against your vehicle’s build details.

FCS is the brand line identified for this suspension strut, and DT355185 is cataloged within that line for the specific front-end applications above. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Front-end ride control concerns on listed Ford and Lincoln models
• Excessive bouncing or poor damping response

Installation Notes and Tips
