Product Details
If your car has a lot of body roll or the front end is bouncing more than it use to it is time to replace your shock absorbers. How can you determine if you do not have the real thing? Look under your car and if your shocks are white, blue, or any color other than black you have imitations. Also look to see if you have any wetness around the top of the shock barrell. If so they are beginning to leak and will fail soon. Best to always replace in pairs. Even if you think your shocks are ok you will be amazed at the improvement when you install these new ones. Shocks DO NOT come with plastic dust cover or rubber stop. You will need to use those from your existing shock. If you have aftermarket shocks you may have to locate and purchase separately. We only carry these used.
You will also need the following socket (sold separately) to complete the installation.
