Good To Know

Q: Is it necessary to replace both shocks if only one is failing? A: Replacing them as a pair is recommended because a single new shock will often wear out quickly if it has to compensate for a failing unit on the opposite side.

Q: Can these shocks be compressed by hand before installation? A: These gas struts are highly pressurized and usually cannot be compressed by hand; they must be installed on the vehicle to utilize the leverage of the hood for movement.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
