Is this a front or rear shock absorber?

No, it is sold individually. Because shocks work as an axle pair, replacing both rear units together is recommended for balanced, even ride control.
What are signs my shock absorber may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing, nose-diving under braking, poor ride control, or uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as other components can contribute.
What is the nitrogen gas-charge for?
The nitrogen gas-charge is designed to reduce aeration and shock fade, helping maintain tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling.
