A worn KYB gas shock absorber can show up as a bouncy ride after bumps, fluid on the shock body or clunking over rough roads. Worn bushings, a loose mount or tired springs can produce a similar ride, so trace the problem before you buy a shock. The MonoMax gives up to 40% more damping performance than standard shock absorbers.
Fits
This rear shock absorber also fits the 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac and the 2001-2003 Ford Explorer Sport. The rear axle gets one shock per side, and this listing is a single shock, so both sides are normally replaced together. If your truck is not named here, look it up in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
