Detailed Description

PRT Performance Ride 173895 is a suspension shock absorber engineered with a center-of-the-loop measuring point at both the body end and rod end for straightforward replacement matching. The 11.22-inch compressed length, 18.03-inch extended length, and 6.81-inch stroke provide the travel range needed for listed front and rear suspension positions. This PRT Shock Absorber 173895 is a practical choice for restoring damping control on older Jeep CJ5 and CJ7 models, Toyota Land Cruiser front suspension, and other listed applications.

Compatible vehicle coverage includes Fits 1987-1990 Mitsubishi Van, rear; Fits 1983-1984 Toyota Land Cruiser, front; Fits 1969-1981 Toyota Land Cruiser, front; Fits 1965-1981 Jeep CJ5, front; Fits 1959-1963 Jeep CJ5, front; Fits 1976-1981 Jeep CJ7, front; Fits 1981 Jeep Scrambler, front; Fits 1966-1973 Jeep Wagoneer, rear and front; Fits 1961-1967 Ford Econoline, rear; and additional CJ5 and Wagoneer configurations listed for specific leaf-spring and suspension setups.

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
• Loose or unsettled ride control on worn suspension
• Reduced damping performance from aging shock absorbers
• Front or rear suspension instability on classic utility vehicles
• Uneven ride behavior caused by shock wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify mount style, compressed length, extended length, and stroke before installation. This shock uses loop-to-loop mounting, so confirm the vehicle’s upper and lower attachment points match the listed center-of-the-loop measurements. Review the fitment notes carefully for CJ5 and Wagoneer applications, including leaf-spring and suspension configuration details, before ordering or installing.

Quality Assurance

PRT Performance Ride suspension components are built for replacement service in the listed applications. Part number 173895 is specified with gas charging, a metal dust shield, and OE-style dimensional data to support accurate fitment selection.
