Help keep a heavy-duty truck's front end controlled and composed with the Focus Auto Parts shock absorber, manufacturer part number F343363. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1997-2009 Chevrolet C6500 Kodiak, 1997-2009 Chevrolet C7500 Kodiak, 1997-2007 GMC C6500 Topkick, 2004-2009 Chevrolet T8500 and 2005-2009 Isuzu FTR. Additional Chevrolet and GMC medium-duty models are also listed; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
This suspension shock absorber mounts at the front of the truck. It dampens the up-and-down motion of the springs, which helps control body movement and keep the tires in contact with the road over uneven pavement.
Signs a shock absorber may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, nose-dive under braking, fluid leaking from the body and uneven or cupped tire wear. If a worn front shock is the cause, this unit replaces it. Diagnose the suspension first, because other components can produce similar symptoms.
The catalog lists a quantity of two per application for many of the listed trucks. This part is sold individually, and this listing is for one. Replacing both sides together as a matched pair is recommended for even, balanced damping.
