As a rear suspension shock absorber, it damps spring and body motion to help the rear of the vehicle settle after bumps. Signs this part may need replacing include excessive bouncing, rear-end squat or sway, fluid leaking from the shock body, and cupped tire wear. Replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced handling.
