Detailed Description

PRT Performance Ride 173293 is a front suspension shock absorber engineered for vehicles that use a bolt-to-loop mounting layout. The gas-charged construction supports consistent damping response, while the measured compressed and extended lengths help match the original suspension geometry on covered applications. This makes it a practical choice for front shock replacement on 1993-1998 Toyota T100, 1984-1995 Toyota Pickup, 1983-1986 Dodge Power Ram 50, 1983-1985 Dodge Ram 50, 1969-1970 Mercury Marauder, 1963-1966 Mercury Marauder, 1965-1966 Oldsmobile Starfire, and 1958-1960 Cadillac Eldorado applications listed below.

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