A shock absorber dampens the up-and-down motion of the suspension springs. This helps keep the tires in contact with the road and the body settled over bumps and dips.
A rear shock may need replacing if you notice excessive bouncing after bumps, the rear squatting under acceleration, fluid leaking from the shock body, or uneven tire wear. Replacing rear shocks in pairs is recommended for balanced handling from side to side.
