Detailed Description

Monroe 31029 is part of the Monro-Matic Plus Shock Absorber line, a product family focused on practical ride control and value. This shock absorber is engineered with VPV technology to respond to changing road conditions, and the nitrogen gas charge supports stable damping characteristics during everyday driving. The 31029 is a fitment-specific replacement for 1986-1995 Suzuki Samurai front suspension applications, making it a relevant choice when restoring ride quality on a Suzuki Samurai. This part cross-references KYB KG4616 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring ride control when the original shock is worn.
• Reducing excessive bouncing after bumps and dips.
• Addressing uneven damping or inconsistent suspension response.
• Replacing a leaking or noisy front shock absorber.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify mount style, compressed length, extended length, and travel length before installation. The upper mount is a stem design and the lower mount uses a loop bushing configuration, so matching the existing suspension hardware is important. Confirm fitment against the vehicle application before beginning service.
