Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by model year and application notes before installation. This shock uses upper and lower loop mounts, so confirm the mounting points on the vehicle match the center-of-the-loop measurement style. Check suspension condition, bushings, and mounting hardware during replacement, and compare the compressed and extended lengths to the original unit before final installation.
