Replacing a reservoir shock
A bolt-on replacement reservoir shock is easiest to fit when the old unit is still on the vehicle during measuring. Take the eye-to-eye length, note the bolt sizes and check the reservoir position before removing anything. That way the new shock can be compared directly rather than guessed at from memory.
Reservoir shocks often need a little extra clearance for the canister and hose, especially where a bumper, skid plate or fender liner sits nearby. Before tightening the fasteners, cycle the suspension through its travel and watch the hose. A hose that pulls tight at full droop or rubs at full compression will wear quickly and should be re-routed.
- Note the original bolt sizes
- Confirm reservoir clearance at full droop
- Re-check fasteners after a short test drive
