Product Details

PRT Performance Ride Shock Absorber 173975 is part of the PRT Shock Absorber line, a suspension-focused product line for replacement shock service. This rear shock absorber is engineered with center-of-the-loop measuring points at both ends, making it straightforward to match against the original rear suspension layout on the listed Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe models. The gas-charged internal design helps maintain damping consistency, while the included dust shield adds protection in demanding road conditions.

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

Common Replacement Uses

• Rear suspension noise caused by worn shock internals
• Excessive bouncing after bumps or dips
• Reduced rear-end stability during braking or cornering
• Uneven ride control from aging OE shock absorbers
• Visible oil seepage or damaged dust protection on the rear shock

Installation Notes

Verify rear fitment by year, make, and model before installation. Confirm the loop-to-loop mounting style, compressed length, extended length, and shock stroke against the original unit on the vehicle. This shock absorber does not include coil over springs and is not adjustable, so it should be installed as a direct rear replacement on the specified applications.

Quality Assurance

PRT Performance Ride 173975 is built as a suspension replacement part for the listed rear applications on 2011-2013 Kia Sorento and 2010-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe. The gas-charged design and metal dust shield support durable service in everyday driving conditions.
