A worn rear shock can show up as fluid on its body, torn rubber or a bouncy ride over bumps. Before you replace it, rule out worn mount bushings, tired springs and tire problems, since those can feel similar.
Fits
It is listed for a wide range of Dodge, Ram and Mitsubishi models, including the 1997-2010 Dodge Dakota, the 1999-2003 Dodge Durango and the 2011 Ram Dakota. These trucks take two rear shocks and this listing is one, so order two and fit them as a pair. Other models are listed in the "Vehicles it fits" section, so look up your own vehicle there.
