Product Details

The Monroe Gas-Magnum line is engineered for heavier-duty suspension demands where consistent control matters. Part number 34786 uses a larger fluid capacity than standard 1-inch bore shocks, which helps reduce effort during compression and rebound while maintaining a firm, stable feel. The loop bushing and sleeve mount configuration is specified for both the upper and lower ends, making it a direct-fit rear shock absorber for the listed Dodge truck and SUV applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce over uneven pavement
• Loose or unsettled rear suspension feel
• Reduced control when carrying cargo or towing
• Wear-related shock fade from extended use
• Noisy or inconsistent rear damping performance

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the upper and lower loop bushing and sleeve mount dimensions before installation. Confirm compressed length, extended length, and travel length against the vehicle’s rear suspension geometry to ensure proper fitment on the Dodge Dakota or Dodge Durango application. Inspect surrounding bushings, brackets, and mounting points for wear before replacing the shock absorber.

Quality Assurance

Monroe designs the Gas-Magnum product line for firm control in truck and van suspension service. This part is listed with a limited lifetime warranty on the confirmed Dodge Dakota and Dodge Durango applications.
