Replacement & Maintenance Guide

Helpful replacement and maintenance guidance for Shock Absorber.

System	Suspension
Description / What It Does	Shock absorbers control spring movement and keep the tires planted on the road. Worn shocks can cause bouncing, longer stopping distance, uneven tire wear, nose-dive, and poor handling.
Replace / Inspect Guidance	Inspect every 12,000 miles; replace around 50,000–80,000 miles or sooner if leaking, bouncing, noisy, or causing poor tire wear.
Job Difficulty	Moderate DIY
Maintenance Tips	Keep tires balanced/aligned, avoid overloaded driving, and replace shocks in axle pairs for even handling.
