A shock absorber converts suspension motion into heat to limit bouncing after bumps, dips, and dives during braking. Signs this part may need replacing include excessive bounce, a floaty or unsettled ride, nose-dive under braking, and cupped or uneven tire wear — diagnose the cause first, since these symptoms can have other sources. If a worn shock is the cause, this unit replaces it. The listed application uses a quantity of 2. Sold individually — this listing is for one; for even, balanced ride control it is best practice to replace both shocks on an axle together as a matched pair.
Manufacturer part number 341526.
