Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the PRT Shock Absorber 930288, ensure the loop mounts align correctly with the vehicle’s suspension points.

The included metal dust shield should be inspected for proper positioning to protect the shock shaft. Coil over springs are not included, so verify if your application requires separate spring components.
