Detailed Description

Gabriel 81469 belongs to the Guardian Shock line, a product family focused on OE-style performance at an affordable price point. This rear shock absorber uses a gas-charged construction, a chromed piston rod, and a leak-resistant seal to maintain stable response over time. The eyelet-to-eyelet mounting style and listed dimensions support a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of classic rear suspension applications.

Compatible with rear suspension service on vehicles such as Dodge Dart, Plymouth Valiant, and Chrysler New Yorker, this shock absorber is also listed for Plymouth Barracuda, Dodge A100, and related classic platforms. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Part number 81469 is the reference to use when matching this Guardian Shock replacement.

What It Is Used For

Restoring rear ride control when the original shock is worn.
Reducing excessive bouncing after bumps or dips.
Improving damping consistency during normal driving.
Addressing fluid leakage or corrosion-related shock failure.
Replacing a shock with worn mounting points or reduced response.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, make, model, and mounting style before ordering. The upper and lower eyelet design should be matched to the vehicle’s existing suspension attachment points. Confirm collapsed and extended length requirements against the original part to ensure proper suspension travel. Installation hardware is not listed as included, so reuse or replacement hardware should be confirmed separately.

Quality Assurance

Gabriel designs Guardian shocks as OE-like replacement components with corrosion-resistant piston rod treatment and a leak-proof seal to support long-term service. Part number 81469 is built to the same application standard used across the Guardian Shock line.

This part fits 238 vehicles

Always verify fitment with your vehicle's VIN if unsure. Submodel & trim restrictions may apply.
