What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or reduced damping control
• Loose steering feel or delayed lane-change response
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn strut performance
• Body movement during braking, cornering, or rough-road driving
• Noise and vibration from aged suspension components

Installation Notes
