A worn shock absorber can show up as a bouncy ride, body lean in turns, uneven tire wear or oil on its body. Before you replace one, rule out worn tires, bushings and mounts, because any of them can give a ride that feels much like a weak shock absorber. Rear shock absorbers are normally replaced as a pair, and this listing is one.
