Detailed Description

PRT Performance Ride 170132 is a suspension shock absorber engineered for vehicles that use loop-to-loop mounting and a standard gas-charged damper layout. The fixed-length design, 8.03-inch stroke, and 2.38-inch body diameter make it a straightforward replacement choice when matching the original shock dimensions is important. The included metal dust shield helps protect the rod area from road debris, while the non-adjustable construction keeps the setup simple for routine suspension service.

This shock absorber is a practical option for drivers replacing worn suspension components on applications such as Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla models where the correct mounting style and travel length are critical. The PRT 170132 part number should be verified against the vehicle’s original shock dimensions before installation.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps or dips
• Reduced body control during braking and cornering
• Uneven ride feel caused by worn shock damping
• Noise or contamination issues around the shock rod area
• Suspension response loss from an aging gas-charged shock absorber

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm compressed length, extended length, stroke, and loop mount orientation before ordering. Match the upper and lower mounting points to the original suspension layout, and verify that the vehicle uses a shock absorber with center-of-loop measuring points. Because this unit is non-adjustable and does not include coil over springs or a boot, reuse or replace related suspension parts as needed based on the vehicle’s condition.

For fitment-based searches, this product is commonly referenced as a replacement shock absorber for Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla suspension service. Always compare the original part dimensions to PRT Performance Ride 170132 before installation.

Quality Assurance

PRT Performance Ride positions the PRT Shock Absorber line as a direct replacement suspension solution with OE-style mounting and dimensional consistency. Part number 170132 is built with gas-charged construction and a metal dust shield to support dependable service in everyday driving conditions.
