Detailed Description

PRT Performance Ride 170217 is a suspension shock absorber engineered around the listed dimensions and mounting style for applications that use center-of-the-loop measuring points at both ends. The gas-charged construction supports consistent damping, while the metal dust shield helps protect the rod area from road debris. For buyers comparing PRT 170217 against other replacement shocks, the key fitment factors are the loop-to-loop mounts, 2.38-inch body diameter, and 7.09-inch stroke.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Search phrases such as PRT 170217 shock absorber, PRT Performance Ride suspension shock absorber, and loop mount replacement shock for vehicle suspension repair are commonly used by shoppers looking for the correct direct-fit component.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps or dips
• Reduced body control during braking and cornering
• Uneven damping from a worn rear or front shock, depending on application
• Suspension noise caused by a deteriorated shock absorber assembly
• Loss of ride stability from a fatigued gas-charged shock

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify compressed length, extended length, and loop mount orientation before installation. Match the center-of-the-loop measuring points to the original shock absorber and confirm that the application does not require a coil-over design, since coil over springs are not included. Because this is a non-adjustable shock absorber, installation should follow the vehicle’s original suspension specification for the correct make/model application. Buyers searching for a PRT shock absorber 170217 for Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla should confirm exact vehicle fitment before ordering, since no fitment rows are provided in the catalog data.

Quality Assurance

PRT Performance Ride identifies this part as a gas-charged suspension shock absorber with a metal dust shield and direct mounting dimensions listed for application matching. Review the published measurements and mounting style against the original equipment shock before installation to confirm proper fit.
