What are signs a rear shock may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing, the rear bottoming out, fluid leaking from the shock body and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause first, because springs, bushings or tires can cause similar symptoms.
What does the banded piston do?
The banded piston helps reduce friction between the piston and the pressure tube. This is intended to improve responsiveness to changing road surfaces for smooth operation.
Should I replace both rear shocks at the same time?
Replacing rear shocks as a pair is generally recommended so both sides damp evenly and handling stays balanced.
