A front suspension shock absorber dampens spring movement and helps keep the tires in contact with the road. Signs this part may need replacing include:
- excessive bouncing after bumps
- nose-dive under braking
- fluid leaking from the shock body
- cupped tire wear
If a worn front shock is the cause, this unit replaces it. Replacing both front shocks together is commonly recommended for balanced handling.
