Product Information
Full details
The Quinton Hazell QAG181155 is a premium front-left shock absorber designed for drivers seeking to restore factory-level handling and ride comfort in their vehicle. This gas-pressure, twin-tube strut effectively minimizes road vibrations and impact harshness, making it an ideal choice for maintenance-focused car owners; however, it is critical to confirm exact vehicle compatibility against OEM part numbers before installation, as suspension components are highly specific to vehicle model and chassis configuration.

FAQs
Does this shock absorber come with a warranty?
Yes, it includes a 2-year or 25,000-mile warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
Can I install this on the front-right side of my car?
No, this part is specifically engineered for the front-left position; please consult the Quinton Hazell catalog for the correct front-right variant.
What does the twin-tube design offer?
The twin-tube design provides a reliable and cost-effective method of dampening, offering a balance between comfort and controlled vehicle handling.
Is this a gas or oil-filled shock?
This is a gas-pressure shock absorber, which helps reduce oil aeration and ensures better consistency during operation.
Should I replace both front shocks at the same time?
Yes, it is standard industry practice to replace shocks in pairs on the same axle to maintain balanced handling and consistent braking performance.
What OEM parts does this replace?
It replaces several FORD references including 1234204, 1234205, 1318112, and 1318905.
Troubleshooting
Vehicle feels bouncy or unstable after installation
Ensure all mounting bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specification and check that the strut is seated correctly in the steering knuckle.
Unusual knocking or clunking noise from the front suspension
Verify that the top mount is tightened correctly and inspect the sway bar links, which may have been disturbed during the shock replacement process.
Uneven tire wear following replacement
A wheel alignment is necessary as suspension changes often alter the vehicle's camber and toe settings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the QAG181155 should always be performed by a qualified technician using appropriate spring compressors and safety equipment, as suspension struts are under high tension. Before ordering, verify that your specific vehicle's OEM part number matches the supported references like FORD 1318112 or 1318905. During installation, inspect related components such as strut mounts, bump stops, and dust boots for wear, as these parts often deteriorate alongside the shock absorber. Post-installation, a professional wheel alignment is highly recommended to correct any changes in suspension geometry caused by the component replacement.
