• Minimizes body roll during cornering
• Restores suspension travel for worn or damaged shocks
• Prevents dust and debris intrusion with metal dust shield
• Maintains vehicle stability under varying load conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle is safely supported before removing the old shock absorber. Measure the existing shock to confirm compatibility with the 16.26-inch compressed and 26.26-inch extended lengths. Since this shock uses loop mounts on both ends, verify that the mounting points align correctly. The shock absorber is non-adjustable and does not include coil springs or boots, so plan accordingly. Proper torque specifications should be followed during installation to maintain safety and performance.
