Extended Product Information

FAQs

Should I replace one shock or both?

It is always recommended to replace shock absorbers in pairs on the same axle to ensure balanced handling and safety.

Is this compatible with all Saab models?

This part is compatible with specific Saab models listed in the OEM reference numbers. Please verify your specific OEM part number before purchase.

Does it come with mounting hardware?

The product includes the shock absorber as specified. Existing hardware is often reused if in good condition, but replacing rusted bolts is recommended.

What is the warranty coverage?

The product is covered by a 2-year or 25,000-mile warranty, whichever comes first, against manufacturing defects.

Do I need a professional to install these?

Suspension work involves working with pressurized components and potential spring tension. Professional installation is highly recommended for safety.

What is the benefit of gas pressure over hydraulic?

Gas pressure shocks prevent oil aeration (foaming) during hard use, ensuring consistent damping performance over long trips.

Troubleshooting

Excessive bouncing after installation

Check that all mounting bolts are tightened to the correct torque and that the strut is seated correctly in the bottom eye mount.

Noises or clunking sounds

Inspect the top mounting hardware to ensure it is not loose and verify that no other suspension components like springs or bushings have failed.

Uneven ride height

Verify that you have installed the correct part number for your specific vehicle sub-model and that the spring is seated properly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable OEM-level build quality
  • Enhanced ride stability and comfort
  • Reduces suspension vibrations from potholes
  • Supported by a long-term manufacturer warranty

Cons

  • Installation requires specialized spring tools
  • Best practice is to replace in pairs (left and right)
  • Requires alignment after installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For installation, ensure you have the vehicle's manual to identify the correct torque settings for the top pin and bottom eye mounts. It is strictly recommended to replace shock absorbers in pairs across the same axle to maintain uniform suspension characteristics. Post-installation, a professional four-wheel alignment is necessary to prevent premature tire wear. For ongoing care, periodically inspect the rubber bushings and the shock body for any signs of hydraulic fluid leaks or physical damage from road debris.
