Detailed Description

PRT Performance Ride part number 170262 is a suspension shock absorber engineered with center-of-the-loop measuring points at both ends for straightforward replacement matching. The gas-charged construction helps maintain damping consistency, while the metal dust shield adds protection to the shock rod area in demanding road conditions. For buyers searching for a rear or front shock absorber replacement by dimensions, this unit provides the key measurements needed to verify application before ordering.

This part number 170262 is a practical choice when replacing a worn shock on vehicles that use loop-to-loop mounting and an 8.11-inch stroke. It is also a relevant search match for drivers looking for PRT Performance Ride suspension parts, PRT Shock Absorber 170262, or an OE-style shock absorber for vehicle-specific suspension service. 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 from a worn suspension shock absorber
• Noisy or exposed shock rod area where dust protection is needed
• Loss of damping consistency from an aging gas-charged shock

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify compressed length, extended length, and mounting style before installation. This shock absorber uses loop upper and lower mounts, so the vehicle must be equipped with matching center-of-the-loop attachment points. Confirm that the application does not require a boot or coil-over spring assembly, since neither is included with this part.

For fitment-based searches, this product is the correct style for vehicles that call for a loop-mount gas-charged shock absorber such as a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla application, but final compatibility must be confirmed against the exact vehicle listing and suspension dimensions. Use the part number 170262 when cross-checking catalog data or service references.

Quality Assurance

PRT Performance Ride focuses on suspension replacement components built around OE-style fit and function requirements. Part number 170262 is manufactured with specified dimensions, a metal dust shield, and gas-charged construction to support consistent service replacement in the intended application.
