Rear hydraulic shocks, or shock absorbers, are a vital component of your vehicle's suspension. Their primary function is to control the unwanted motion of the springs and suspension, preventing a bouncy or unsettled ride. By using a piston and fluid inside a sealed cylinder, the shocks convert the kinetic energy of suspension movement into thermal energy, which is then dissipated. Over time, the seals can fail, leading to fluid leaks and a "blown" shock absorber. Symptoms of a worn-out shock include a bouncy or swaying ride, a feeling of the vehicle "bottoming out" on bumps, or uneven tire wear. This product includes a complete set of shocks for both the driver and passenger sides of the rear suspension. It is highly recommended to replace shocks in pairs to ensure balanced handling, consistent performance, and a safe, comfortable ride.
