How does the triple lip fluid seal help?
The triple lip fluid seal reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out of the shock, helping it maintain its designed damping performance.
What are signs my shock absorber may need replacing?
Reduced stability, poor lane-change response, longer stopping, excessive body movement, uneven tire wear, or fluid leaking from the shock body can be signs a shock may need replacing. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
