About this part
Shock absorbers control how fast the suspension rebounds. Worn shocks cause excessive bouncing, longer braking distances and reduced grip – especially dangerous in wet conditions.
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose OEM or aftermarket shock absorbers?
OEM shocks restore the original ride feel. Performance aftermarket options can improve handling. Ensure the part matches your vehicle and any sport suspension options.
Should I replace shock absorbers in pairs?
Always – replace both fronts or both rears together. Mixing old and new on the same axle creates uneven damping and unpredictable handling.
