Choosing and replacing a rear shock
Rear shocks control body movement when a Jeep crosses ruts, washboard and whoops. A worn unit usually shows up as bouncing after bumps, a nose-dive under braking or oil on the outside of the body. Before removing the old shock, measure its collapsed and extended lengths, note the stroke and compare the eye style with the replacement so the mounts line up without forcing.
Rear shocks are often replaced in pairs so damping stays even from side to side. If the Jeep has been lifted, check that the new unit still allows full droop and compression without hitting the bump stops or stretching the brake lines. Bushings and mounting hardware are worth inspecting during the same job, because a worn bushing can make a fresh shock feel loose.
- Check eye and stud style before removing the old shock
- Inspect bushings and bolts during the same job
- Look for oil seepage or a dented body
