Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the B4 shock absorber should follow standard automotive safety protocols. Because it is a direct OE replacement, no custom mounts or adapters are typically required. It is highly recommended to replace shocks in pairs (both left and right rear) to ensure balanced handling.
Care Tips:
- Periodic Inspection: Check for hydraulic fluid leaks or damaged dust boots every 10,000 miles.
- Avoid Over-Tightening: Use a torque wrench and adhere to your vehicle's specific manual for mounting bolt torque settings.
- Cleaning: Keep the shock piston rod clean of road grime and salt to prevent premature seal wear.
