Product Details

Rancho RS5000X shocks are built for drivers who want more controlled suspension response without changing the factory rear shock layout. The RS55393 is a direct-fit rear shock absorber for the 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 Nissan Xterra, and it is specified for vehicles with 0 inch raised height. The RS5000X line focuses on tuned valving and compression management to help the suspension react more consistently over pavement, washboard roads, and uneven terrain. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Excessive rear-end bounce on rough roads
  • Loose or unsettled rear suspension feel
  • Reduced control during braking and cornering
  • Harsh response over bumps and expansion joints
  • Worn rear shock performance on a Nissan Xterra

Installation Notes

Fits 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra, rear. Confirm that the vehicle has 0 inch raised height before ordering. Match the upper and lower loop bushing mounts to the existing suspension hardware, and verify compressed and extended lengths against the original shock to ensure proper suspension travel. The RS55393 is also referenced under part number RS5393.

Quality Assurance

Rancho RS5000X shocks are engineered around a specific valving strategy and compression tuning for consistent suspension performance. The dust shield and extended bumper stop support durability in everyday driving and off-road use.
