Product Details

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps
• Reduced stability during braking and lane changes
• Loose or unsettled rear suspension feel
• Uneven ride control from worn shock absorbers
• Loss of factory-like handling response

Installation Notes

Verify rear fitment by model, wheelbase, and mounting style before installation. Compare the compressed length, extended length, and mount dimensions to the removed shock to confirm proper application. Replace shocks in axle pairs when wear is present on both sides for balanced rear suspension performance.
