Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the upper and lower mount styles, sleeve dimensions, and compressed/extended lengths before installation. This steering damper uses loop bushing and sleeve mounts, so matching the OE mounting codes and dimensions is important for proper fitment. Confirm front-axle application and vehicle year before ordering. Part number SC2973 is listed for Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 front steering applications only.
Quality Assurance
Monroe Magnum Steering Dampers are engineered as steering stabilizers that reduce vibration transfer through the steering system. The included dust shield helps protect the damper rod area from road debris, and the rubber dust shield material supports everyday undercar exposure.
