Product Details

Monroe Magnum Axle Shaft Dampers are engineered as OE replacement parts for late-model driveline applications where axle shaft movement and vibration control matter. The SC2958 uses matching upper and lower loop mounts, a metal dust shield, and a premium construction profile to support consistent operation in the axle shaft assembly. This part cross-references KYB SS10201 for the same application.

Compatible With 1995-2001 Ford Explorer and 1997-2001 Mercury Mountaineer, this Monroe axle shaft damper is a fitment-specific replacement for vehicles equipped with the matching OE-style mounting configuration. The Monroe SC2958 is also a relevant search match for drivers looking for a Ford Explorer axle shaft damper or Mercury Mountaineer driveline damper replacement.

Common Issues This Part May Address

• Excessive axle shaft vibration
• Harsh driveline movement over bumps or road transitions
• Worn or leaking original axle shaft damper
• Noise related to degraded damping performance
• Loss of stable axle shaft control at the original mounting points

Installation Notes

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and mount style before installation. This part uses loop bushing and sleeve mounts at both ends, so confirm the LS38 mount code and sleeve dimensions against the original damper. Always compare the vehicle’s existing axle shaft damper to the SC2958 before installation to ensure the correct Ford Explorer or Mercury Mountaineer application.
