Product Features and Specifications

This Monroe shock absorber features a metal dust shield that guards against dirt and debris, extending the life of the unit. The extended bumper stop enhances suspension travel management, while the absence of a compressed bumper stop and extended hydraulic lockout aligns with the original equipment design. The shock measures 11.22 inches compressed and 17.57 inches extended, ensuring proper fitment and function. Both upper and lower mounts utilize loop bushing and sleeve mounts with precise sleeve dimensions (1/2 inch ID x 38.1 mm OAL upper, 1/2 inch ID x 1.5 inch OAL lower) for a secure and vibration-resistant connection.
