Detailed Description

Monroe 34904 is a suspension shock absorber designed for front and rear applications listed for Toyota Land Cruiser, Jeep CJ5, Jeep CJ7, Jeep Scrambler, Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Wagoneer, and Ford Econoline models. The Gas-Magnum product line focuses on heavier-duty control for vehicles that see more demanding road conditions, and this unit’s larger fluid capacity helps manage heat and repeated suspension movement more effectively. This part cross-references KYB KG5401 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps or dips
• Loose or unsettled ride feel on trucks and vans
• Reduced control from worn suspension damping
• Harsh response from aging shock absorbers
