Product Details

Monroe Gas-Magnum shock absorbers are positioned for heavier-duty truck and van suspension demands, and this 34517 rear shock follows that approach with a larger fluid capacity than standard small-bore shocks. That extra capacity helps the shock work more efficiently under load changes, road impacts, and repeated suspension cycling. For Ford Excursion owners searching for a rear shock absorber that supports controlled ride quality, Monroe 34517 is a practical OE-style replacement choice.

This part cross-references KYB KG54329 and PRT 193834 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear position, mounting style, and dimensions before installation. Confirm the compressed length, extended length, and mounting codes match the vehicle’s suspension layout on your Ford Excursion. Inspect surrounding bushings, sleeves, and mounting points for wear before installing the new shock absorber.
