Product Details

PRT Performance Ride part number 175409 is a rear suspension shock absorber engineered for vehicles that use a center-of-the-loop measuring point at both the rod end and body end. The gas-charged construction helps maintain damping consistency, while the metal dust shield adds protection for the shaft area in exposed underbody conditions. This PRT Shock Absorber is a direct-fit style replacement for rear service on 2005-2017 Chevrolet Equinox, 2010-2017 GMC Terrain, 2008-2010 Saturn Vue, 2006-2009 Pontiac Torrent, and 2007-2009 Suzuki XL-7. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Rear-end bounce or excessive oscillation over bumps
• Uneven rear ride control after shock wear
• Noisy or loose-feeling rear suspension response
• Reduced damping performance on higher-mileage SUVs
• Replacement for worn rear shock absorber assemblies on Equinox, Terrain, Vue, Torrent, and XL-7 models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, make, model, and position before installation. This shock absorber uses loop mounts at both ends, so confirm the vehicle’s original mounting style and compressed/extended length requirements match part number 175409. Inspect related suspension bushings and mounting points during service to ensure proper operation after replacement.
