This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Replacement Reasons
- Front-end bounce or excessive body movement over bumps
- Uneven ride control from worn shock absorbers
- Noise or instability from aging front suspension components
- Loss of damping performance on Ram 1500 front suspension
- Replacement for a damaged or leaking front shock assembly
Installation Notes
Verify the vehicle year, model, and front suspension configuration before ordering. This part is listed for front applications only, and the 2019 Ram 1500 and 2019 Ram 1500 Classic listings require front heavy duty shock absorbers. Confirm part number 68170198AC against the existing component and vehicle build data for proper application matching.
