Detailed Product Description

The PRT Shock Absorber line by PRT Performance Ride focuses on delivering dependable suspension components that maintain vehicle stability and control. This particular shock absorber, part number 170130, features a gas-charged design that helps reduce fade and improve responsiveness over traditional hydraulic shocks.

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the PRT Performance Ride PRT Shock Absorber 170130, ensure the loop-style mounts align correctly with the vehicle’s suspension points. Measure from the center of the loop for accurate fitment. Since this shock absorber is non-adjustable, verify that the fixed damping characteristics meet your vehicle’s requirements. The metal dust shield should be inspected regularly for damage to maintain protection of the piston rod.
