Product Details:
Shock Absorbers (vibration dampers) wear gradually over time and and most vehicle owners aren't aware they are driving on worn Shock Absorbers that need to be replaced.
Worn Shock Absorbers can add as much as 20% to your stopping distance and cause the vehicle to become unstable in strong side winds, both of which can lead to serious consequences. Steering wheel vibration can also appear, which makes the vehicle feel unsteady and increases wear to other suspension components which may need to be replaced sooner than expected.
Replace in Pairs: It best practice is change these in pairs in order to return the vehicle to its correct ride height, maintain steering response and safer road handling. Changing only the defective spring will result in the older spring working harder and possibly shorten its working life.
