Description

Firm up a hardworking truck or van's ride and keep the front tires planted with the Monroe Gas-Magnum Front Suspension Shock Absorber 34817. Engineered for midsize and full-size trucks and vans, this gas-charged front shock delivers controlled ride and handling without a harsh feel, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1975-1986 Chevrolet C10, 1975-1982 Chevrolet K5 Blazer and 1970-1982 GMC Jimmy. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of applications.

Designed for trucks and vans: full-displaced valving on the compression cycle helps deliver controlled ride and handling under load.
Built to last: heavy-duty nitrocarburized rod (non-dust-shield units only) and sintered iron piston enhance durability, while a self-lubricating fluid seal reduces friction against the piston rod to limit wear.
More capacity: a larger bore and bigger 2-in. reserve tube hold more oil — up to twice the fluid of standard 1-in. bore shocks — so the shock works efficiently for a controlled ride and longer service life.
Nitrogen gas-charge: maintains tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade, and OE all-weather fluid handles extreme temperatures for smooth rod reaction.

Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee. If a worn front shock is the cause of a bouncy, poorly controlled ride, this replaces it.

Buyer's Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this shock absorber do?

It dampens suspension oscillation to help keep the front tires in contact with the road for controlled ride and handling. This is a front-position shock for the listed trucks and vans.

Is the 34817 a front or rear shock?

It is cataloged as a front suspension shock absorber for the listed applications.

Does it fit my vehicle?

It fits many Chevrolet and GMC trucks, vans and Suburbans, such as the 1975-1986 Chevrolet C10 and 1970-1982 GMC Jimmy. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

What makes the Gas-Magnum different?

A larger bore and 2-in. reserve tube hold more oil, and a nitrogen gas-charge reduces aeration and shock fade to help maintain tire-to-road contact for firm control without a harsh ride.

What are signs this shock may need replacing?

Excessive bouncing, poor ride control or reduced handling can be signs a shock is worn. Diagnose the cause first; replacing both front shocks together is recommended for balanced ride control.
