Fluid leaking from the shock body, a bouncy ride or a loose feel over bumps can mean a rear shock is worn. Before you replace one, rule out worn tires and loose rear suspension hardware, which can feel similar. These cars take two shocks, one on each side of the rear axle. This listing is one shock, so order two and fit them together.
