Product Details

Monroe Reflex Light Truck Shock Absorber 911186 is engineered for trucks with a higher center of gravity, where suspension control matters during braking, turning, and uneven-road driving. The valving reacts to impact changes to help the front suspension stay composed, which is especially relevant for Dodge Ram 1500 front shock absorber replacement on 2002-2008 models. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end dive during braking
• Body roll in turns and lane changes
• Harsh impact response over rough pavement
• Worn or leaking front shock absorber symptoms
• Reduced ride control on a Dodge Ram 1500 front suspension

Installation Notes

Verify mount style, compressed length, and extended length before installation. This shock uses a stem upper mount and a cross pin lower mount, so confirm the vehicle’s front mounting points match the listed specifications. For best results, replace shocks in matched pairs on the same axle and inspect related suspension components for wear before final assembly.
