Extended Product Information

FAQs

Should I replace one shock absorber or both?

It is strongly recommended to replace shock absorbers in pairs on the same axle to maintain balanced damping and handling.

Is this part compatible with my car?

Please verify your vehicle's specific requirements against the MPN QAG181627 or check with your vehicle's service manual.

What is the lifespan of this shock absorber?

Lifespan varies based on driving habits and road conditions, but these are built to meet OE standards for durability and long-term performance.

Do I need special tools for installation?

Yes, suspension work typically requires a spring compressor, torque wrench, and general automotive lifting equipment.

Does this include the coil spring?

No, this is a shock absorber unit. Springs are typically sold separately unless specified as a complete strut assembly.

Will this improve my car's handling?

Yes, by replacing worn units with high-quality components, you restore the suspension's ability to control body roll and maintain tyre contact.

Troubleshooting

Vehicle continues to bounce excessively after hitting a bump

Check for signs of oil leakage on the shock body; if leaking, the seal has failed and the unit must be replaced.

Uneven tyre wear observed after installation

Ensure the vehicle has undergone a professional wheel alignment post-installation.

Clunking noise during suspension travel

Inspect all mounting hardware and top-mount bushings to ensure they are torqued to the manufacturer's specification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance, it is recommended to replace shock absorbers in pairs (left and right) on the same axle.

  1. Verification: Always confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle make, model, and year before purchase.
  2. Installation: Due to the tension involved in suspension springs, installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic using a dedicated spring compressor and safety equipment.
  3. Post-Installation: A wheel alignment is highly recommended after replacing shock absorbers to ensure tyre wear and steering geometry remain within manufacturer specifications.
  4. Maintenance: Regularly inspect for signs of hydraulic fluid leakage or physical damage to the casing. Keep the surrounding suspension area free of road debris buildup.
