Troubleshooting

Excessive bouncing or poor damping

Check for leaks on the shock absorber body. Ensure the shock absorber is correctly installed and fully functional. If symptoms persist, the unit may need replacement.

Noisy operation (clunking, rattling)

Verify that all mounting hardware is tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Check for loose suspension components or worn bushings. Ensure the correct part is installed.

Vehicle pulling to one side

This is often an alignment issue. Ensure the vehicle has undergone a professional wheel alignment after shock absorber installation. Also, check tire pressures and condition.

Premature wear on tires

Confirm that the shock absorbers were installed correctly and that a wheel alignment was performed. Uneven tire wear can also be caused by other suspension or steering components.
