Troubleshooting

Ensure the shock absorber was installed correctly on the right side. Verify compatibility with your vehicle's suspension type. Check if the paired shock absorber (G7304) also needs replacement for balanced damping.

Noise coming from the front suspension.

Inspect the mounting hardware to ensure it is tightened to specification. Check for any loose components or obstructions around the shock absorber assembly.
