On an automobile, for example, the springs act as a cushion between the axles and the body and reduce the shocks on the body produced by a rough road surface. Some combinations of road surface and car speed may result in excessive up-and-down motion of the car body. Shock absorbers slow down and reduce the magnitude of these vibratory motions. Modern shock absorbers are hydraulic devices that oppose both the compression and the stretch of the springs. The direct-acting, or strut, type is attached to the vehicle frame and the axle by two eyes. One eye is attached to a piston that slides in an oil-filled cylinder attached to the other eye. Any relative motion between the frame and the axle causes the piston to act against the oil in the cylinder. This oil has to leak through small openings or pass through a spring-loaded valve. In this way, a force is created that opposes the contraction and stretching of the springs, and the vibration of the body is dampened. 100% BRAND NEW and tested to meet or exceed OEM specifications.

Like every car part, shock absorbers are prone to fatigue and wear. Therefore, it’s always important to pay attention to the quality of your ride and have your shock absorbers checked regularly. The lifespan of a shock absorber depends on several factors including your car’s mileage, your driving style, road conditions, and more. But in general, shock absorbers are considered consumables, just like your car’s tires and brake pads. Thus, it’s a good idea to have them looked at around the 30,000-kilometer mark, and replaced at 50,000 kilometers. 6 Signs of Worn or Faulty Shock. Your Vehicle Shakes or Sways While Driving. Your Vehicle Rolls or Sways Excessively in Corners. Excessive Nose Dive and Squat. Fluid Leak on the Shock Absorbers. Replacing shocks and struts can be dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. Read through these instructions carefully before attempting to dismantle your vehicle to ensure safety and efficiency throughout the project. The shocks and struts on many vehicles are integrated with springs that can pop off and injure you or damage your vehicle if not removed properly. In such cases, you’ll need a spring compressor in order to take everything apart safely. You can rent a spring compressor from your local auto parts store but it’s important to understand how to use it. This is the most integral function for replacing shocks and struts and you need to be careful. If you have any doubts about removing the springs, you should consider taking your vehicle to a mechanic instead. Once you have all of your parts and tools ready, you should raise your vehicle one side at a time using a car jack. After it’s up, place a jackstand behind the front wheel to ensure stability. Otherwise, you can use a lift. Just make sure the vehicle is secure before attempting to loosen anything or getting under the vehicle. Remove Old Shocks and Struts. First, you’ll need to remove the wheels. Next, using your spring compressor, you’ll look for three bolts at the bottom of the shock or strut that holds it in place. Loosen these bolts but don’t remove them completely just yet. On the top of shock or strut is another bolt inside the engine compartment. You can use an impact wrench with a socket extension to loosen it. Get this loose and finish removing the other bolts and your shock or strut should come free. Installing New Shocks and Struts. Once the old shocks and struts have been removed, you can simply replace the new ones. Make sure that you tighten all of the bolts securely. You will probably need a torque wrench to do this. Put the wheels back on the vehicle and you’re ready to test it out. 172142, Full strut assembly, Driver Side Passenger side. 2 Piece Set Complete Strut Assembly New Ready to Install.
