Product Details

PRT Performance Ride 193598 is a rear suspension shock absorber engineered with a 4.80-inch stroke, 10.43-inch compressed length, and 15.24-inch extended length.

This PRT Shock Absorber is a direct-fit style replacement for select Hyundai Elantra, Hyundai Veloster, Kia Rio, Kia Forte, Kia Forte5, Kia Forte Koup, Hyundai Elantra GT, and Hyundai Elantra Coupe rear applications.

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

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, make, model, and position before installation. Confirm the loop mount orientation and compare compressed and extended lengths to the removed unit to ensure proper suspension travel. Inspect surrounding rear suspension components, including mounts and bushings, during replacement so the new shock absorber can operate correctly.
