This shock absorber component is integral to the vehicle's suspension system, controlling spring oscillations and maintaining tire contact with the road surface. It is engineered to meet stringent performance standards, providing a smoother ride and improved handling compared to a worn unit which would allow excessive bouncing. Operators may notice a harsh ride, increased body roll, and a tendency for the vehicle to 'porpoise' after hitting bumps when this component fails.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Torque all suspension fasteners to specification — under-torque causes wear, over-torque causes fatigue cracking. Replace bushings in pairs. Grease all zerks after fitting. Check alignment after suspension work.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
A failing shock absorber will first manifest as a noticeable increase in vehicle bouncing and rocking after encountering uneven road surfaces. If left unaddressed, this can lead to a degradation in handling predictability, particularly during evasive maneuvers, and potentially compromise braking effectiveness.
Ensure the new shock absorber is fully compressed and extended before installation to purge any air from the hydraulic system. Do not overtighten the mounting bolts, as this can damage the bushings.
Inspect the suspension springs, bushings, and mounting hardware for any signs of damage or wear when replacing the shock absorbers.
