Detailed Description

Monroe Magnum Steering Damper SC2917 is a direct-fit steering stabilizer for front applications on select Jeep, Ford, Dodge, and Chevrolet vehicles. It is listed for 1959-1985 coverage across models such as Jeep CJ5, Jeep CJ7, Jeep Scrambler, Ford F-100, Ford F-250, Dodge W200, Chevrolet K10 Suburban, Chevrolet K20 Suburban, Jeep Wagoneer, and Ford F-250 4WD manual steering applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts SC2917 for the same application.

The Magnum Steering Damper line is Monroe’s steering control product line for reducing steering vibration and road shock transfer. By acting like a horizontal shock absorber, this damper helps isolate steering inputs from front-end movement, which is especially relevant on older 4x4 platforms and vehicles using steering stabilizer kits.

What It Helps Address

• Steering wheel shake from front-end vibration
• Road shock transmitted through the steering system
• Loose or unsettled steering feel on rough pavement
• Front-end oscillation in steering stabilizer kit setups
• Replacement needs on manual steering and 4WD front applications
