🧑‍🔧 ASK THE MECHANIC — FAQ

Q: Should shocks be replaced in pairs?
A: Yes — replacing both front shocks maintains balanced damping, braking and tyre wear.

Q: Will this fit heavy-duty or 4Motion?
A: Many variants are covered. Send your REG/VIN and we’ll confirm the exact damper spec for your suspension code.

Q: Anything else to change at the same time?
A: Check top mounts/bearings, bump stops, dust boots and drop links. Renewing these improves ride and longevity.
