Common Problems It Can Address

• Reduced control over body motion on rough pavement
• Uneven or unstable ride feel from worn front shocks
• Noisy or loose-feeling front suspension damping
• Loss of consistent front suspension response during daily driving

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and front position before installation. Confirm that the upper bolt mount and lower loop mount match the existing suspension hardware on your Jeep Wrangler or Jeep Wrangler JK. Compare the compressed length, extended length, and shock stroke to the original unit before final assembly.

Because this shock absorber is not adjustable and does not include coil over springs or a boot, reuse or replace related suspension components as needed during service. Proper torque and inspection of surrounding front suspension parts are recommended during installation.
