This is a shock absorber, a vital component in the vehicle's suspension system responsible for damping spring oscillations and controlling wheel movement. It is built to meet stringent performance standards, providing consistent damping force unlike a worn shock that allows excessive bouncing and poor ride quality. Operators may experience a rougher ride, increased body roll during cornering, or a tendency for the vehicle to 'porpoise' after hitting bumps.
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 initially lead to a noticeable increase in vehicle bounce after encountering uneven road surfaces. Over time, this can progress to significant body roll during cornering, reduced steering control, and a generally unstable ride. The primary risk is compromised vehicle stability, potentially leading to loss of control under adverse conditions.
Always replace shock absorbers in pairs (left and right) to maintain balanced suspension performance. Ensure the mounting bushings are properly aligned before tightening fasteners.
Inspect the suspension springs, bushings, and mounting hardware for wear or damage when replacing shock absorbers.
