Product Details

PRT Shock Absorber 193657 is part of the PRT Performance Ride shock absorber line, focused on direct-fit suspension replacement for common rear applications. This rear shock absorber uses center-of-the-loop measuring points at both ends, with a gas-charged internal design and a metal dust shield to help protect the shaft area from road debris. It is a practical replacement choice for Chevrolet Astro and GMC Safari vans, as well as Volkswagen Vanagon rear suspension service.

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

Common Issues Addressed

Excessive rear bounce after bumps or dips
Reduced body control during braking and cornering
Rear suspension instability on worn shock absorbers
Uneven ride quality caused by weak damping
Road noise and harshness from deteriorated rear shocks

Installation Notes

Verify rear suspension fitment by year, make, and model before installation. Confirm loop-to-loop mounting points, compressed length, and extended length match the vehicle’s suspension travel requirements. Inspect surrounding bushings and mounting points for wear before replacing the shock absorber. Professional installation is recommended for proper torque and alignment of the rear suspension components.

Quality Assurance

PRT Performance Ride supplies suspension components for direct replacement use, and this shock absorber is built with a gas-charged design and metal dust shield for durable service in rear suspension applications.

This part fits 94 vehicles

Always verify fitment with your vehicle's VIN if unsure. Submodel & trim restrictions may apply.
