Product Details

PRT Performance Ride 173862 is part of the PRT Shock Absorber line, a suspension-focused product line for replacement shock absorber applications. This rear shock absorber is specified with center-of-the-loop measuring points at both ends, a loop upper mount, and a loop lower mount, making it a direct-fit option for the Buick Rendezvous rear suspension where the automatic rear air leveling system is not equipped. The gas-charged construction supports stable damping characteristics, while the metal dust shield helps protect the shock body from road debris.

This part number, 173862, is a practical search match for buyers looking for a rear shock absorber for 2002-2007 Buick Rendezvous models. It cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Rear suspension bounce after bumps or dips
  • Excessive body movement over uneven pavement
  • Reduced ride control from a worn rear shock absorber
  • Noise or harshness caused by degraded damping performance
  • Uneven rear suspension response on a Buick Rendezvous

Installation Notes

Confirm loop-to-loop mounting and compare compressed length, extended length, and shock stroke to the original unit before installation. The dust shield is included; the boot is not included.
