Monroe SC2969 Steering Damper - Front

Monroe Magnum Steering Damper SC2969

The Monroe Magnum Steering Damper SC2969 is a front steering stabilizer that reduces vibration before it reaches the driver. It works as a horizontal shock absorber to help control steering-system shake on heavy-duty trucks, including Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 HD and GMC Sierra 2500 HD and 3500 HD applications.

Detailed Description

Monroe SC2969 is a steering damper for front steering applications on 2011-2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, 2011-2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD, 2011-2015 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, and 2011-2015 GMC Sierra 3500 HD. By damping steering-system vibration at the source, it helps reduce shake transmitted to the driver through the steering wheel. The loop-to-loop mounting design and listed compressed, extended, and travel dimensions make SC2969 a direct-fit replacement choice for trucks that use the OE steering damper layout. This part cross-references Delphi SS10311 and Rancho RS5417 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Steering wheel vibration on rough roads
• Front-end shimmy felt through the steering system
• Road-induced steering shake in heavy-duty pickups
• Wear-related loss of steering damping performance
• Noise and harshness from steering-system movement
