Buying checklist for rear shocks
Rear shocks are often bought by year and model, but the mounting eye style, bushing type and body length all decide whether a replacement fits well. Compare the old shock’s collapsed and extended lengths and its eye style before ordering. Reservoir shocks take up more room than some monotube designs, so check the spare tire carrier and any rear accessories for clearance.
Many owners replace rear shocks when the old ones start to leak, fade on long descents or let the body bounce after a few bumps. Replacing the bushings at the same time helps the new shock sit square in the mount. Because the ride is set by both ends of the vehicle, check the front shocks during the same job and keep the rear pair matched.
- Compare eye style with the old shock
- Check spare tire clearance
- Inspect bushings during install
