Mopar Front Shock Absorber Kit for Ram 1500

Mopar part number 68170198AC is a front suspension shock absorber kit for select Ram 1500 and Ram 1500 Classic applications. It is a direct-fit suspension component for drivers replacing worn front shocks on 2017-2022 Ram 1500 models with the listed configurations.

Key Features

  • Genuine Mopar suspension shock absorber kit
  • Front position application
  • OE-style fitment for Ram 1500 and Ram 1500 Classic
  • Supersedes part number 68170198AB for the listed 2019 applications
  • Part number 68170198AC for easy identification and ordering

Fitment Details

  • Fits 2022 Ram 1500, front, VH7346.
  • Fits 2020-2021 Ram 1500, front.
  • Fits 2017-2018 Ram 1500, front.
  • Fits 2019 Ram 1500, front, with front heavy duty shock absorbers.

This Mopar shock absorber kit is used to restore front suspension control and ride consistency on Ram 1500 trucks. It is a practical replacement when the original front shocks are worn, leaking, or no longer maintaining proper damping. 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.

Quality Assurance
