Product Details

It is a rear shock absorber for a wide range of Chevrolet and GMC platforms, including 2003-2007 Chevrolet Express 2500, 2003-2007 GMC Savana 2500, 1996-2005 Chevrolet Express 3500, 1996-2002 GMC Savana 3500, 1995-1999 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 1995-1999 GMC Yukon.

What It Helps Address

- Loose or unstable handling on Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans
- Reduced control during lane changes or braking

Some listed vehicles require replacement of the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions, so verify the service procedure for your exact model and year before beginning work. Always inspect related rear suspension components, fasteners, and bushings during replacement.
