Monroe SC2940 Steering Damper - Front

Monroe Magnum Steering Damper SC2940 Overview

The Monroe Magnum Steering Damper SC2940 is a front steering stabilizer for Jeep applications that need tighter steering control and less road feedback. It works as a horizontal shock absorber to reduce vibration before it reaches the driver, helping calm shimmy and steering wheel shake on older Jeep platforms.

Fits 1973-1991 Jeep CJ5, front; 1974-1983 Jeep Cherokee, front; 1974-1990 Jeep Wagoneer, front; 1975-1988 Jeep J10, front; 1975-1988 Jeep J20, front; 1976-1986 Jeep CJ7, front; 1982-1985 Jeep Scrambler, front; and 1988-1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, front.

Detailed Description

Monroe Magnum Steering Damper SC2940 is built for front steering systems that need vibration isolation and steadier road feel. By acting as a horizontal shock absorber, it helps reduce steering-system oscillation and road-induced shake in Jeep Grand Wagoneer, Wagoneer, Cherokee, CJ5, CJ7, Scrambler, J10, and J20 applications. This part cross-references KYB SS10316 for the same application.

The SC2940 uses a stem upper mount and loop bushing lower mount, with dimensions that matter for direct replacement work: 10.6250 inches compressed, 17.3750 inches extended, and 6.7500 inches of travel. The Monroe Magnum Steering Damper line is focused on steering stabilization rather than suspension lift or ride height changes, making it a practical OE-style service part for front-end steering control.

What It Helps Address

• Steering wheel vibration on rough or uneven roads
• Front-end shimmy in Jeep steering systems
• Road feedback transmitted through the steering linkage
• Loose or unsettled steering feel during straight-line driving
• Wear-related loss of steering damping on older Jeep models
