Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by model year and wheel size before installation; this listing excludes 19-inch wheel applications. Confirm the upper and lower mount types match the vehicle’s original hardware and inspect surrounding suspension components, including mounts and bushings, for wear before replacing the shock. After installation, check ride height, alignment condition, and road-test the vehicle to confirm proper damping response.
