PRT Shock Absorber Product Line Details

The PRT Shock Absorber line focuses on delivering dependable suspension components engineered for specific vehicle applications. The 372320 shock absorber is part of this line, providing a direct-fit replacement that meets the original equipment specifications for Chevrolet Cruze and Volt models. This ensures compatibility and performance consistency without requiring modifications.

Technical Description and Features

This PRT Performance Ride shock absorber features a gas-charged design that helps reduce foaming and maintains consistent damping throughout its stroke. With a compressed length of 15.32 inches and an extended length of 25.43 inches, it offers a travel length of 10.12 inches, matching the suspension travel requirements of the Chevrolet Cruze and Volt. The shock absorber uses a bolt-type upper mount and a loop-type lower mount for secure installation. A polyethylene dust shield protects the piston rod from dirt and debris, extending the service life of the component. The shock absorber rod end is measured from the center of the bolt, and the body end from the center of the loop, ensuring precise fitment.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Restores proper damping and ride control on Chevrolet Cruze and Volt vehicles
• Reduces excessive bouncing and body roll during cornering
• Eliminates noise and vibration caused by worn shock absorbers
• Improves vehicle stability and handling on uneven road surfaces
• Prevents premature tire wear due to suspension issues

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the PRT Shock Absorber 372320 requires standard suspension tools and should be performed by a qualified technician. Ensure the vehicle is safely supported and the suspension is unloaded before removing the old shock absorber. Verify the upper bolt mount and lower loop mount align correctly with the vehicle’s mounting points. Since this shock absorber is non-adjustable, no tuning is necessary after installation. Inspect the dust shield for proper placement to protect the piston rod from contaminants.
