FAQs
Do I need to replace both shock absorbers at once?
Yes, it is highly recommended to replace shock absorbers in pairs to ensure even damping performance and predictable handling.
What does the 25,000-mile warranty cover?
The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal driving conditions for 2 years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Can I install these myself?
If you have intermediate mechanical skills and the proper tools, you may be able to perform the installation. However, suspension work can be dangerous due to high-tension springs, so professional installation is suggested.
Is Quinton Hazell an OEM supplier?
Quinton Hazell has been a trusted supplier of automotive components since 1946, providing parts that meet or exceed original equipment standards.
How do I know if my shocks are bad?
Common signs include a bouncy ride, leaking fluid on the shock body, uneven tire wear, or the vehicle nose-diving significantly when braking.
Troubleshooting
Vehicle still feels bouncy after installation
Check that the mounting hardware is torqued to manufacturer specifications and ensure the suspension air has been cleared if applicable.
Clunking noise heard when driving over bumps
Verify that all installation bolts are tightened and inspect other suspension components like bushings or sway bar links for wear.
Vehicle pulling to one side
A wheel alignment is typically required after major suspension work to ensure proper tracking and tire longevity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before purchasing, always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle make and model using the MPN QAG181169. Installation requires specific automotive tools, including a spring compressor if the shock is part of a strut assembly. It is strongly advised to consult your vehicle's service manual for torque specifications. For optimal results, shock absorbers should be replaced in pairs (left and right on the same axle). Maintenance is minimal, but you should periodically inspect the mounting points for signs of fluid leaks or corrosion, which are indicators that the part may be approaching the end of its functional life.
