FAQ - Question 4:
Should I have my vehicle aligned after replacing my shocks or struts?
FAQ - Answer 2:
Yes, all shocks and struts use hydraulic fluid (oil) to control damping. A gas charged shock or strut uses high-pressure nitrogen gas to reduce oil foaming during high-speed damping, and therefore maintains performance.
FAQ - Question 3:
Can I check my vehicle's shocks for wear?
FAQ - Question 1:
Is there a difference between a shock and a strut?
FAQ - Answer 5:
Yes, it is important to choose the correct shock or strut for your vehicle model and year, as well as for the location in the vehicle.
FAQ - Question 2:
Do gas charged shocks or struts contain oil?
Features & Benefits - Bullet 5:
Contain high performance hydraulic oil with friction modifiers and anti-foaming agents for consistent damping force through a wide operation temperature range
FAQ - Question 5:
Do I need different shocks for front, rear, left, or right applications?
FAQ - Answer 4:
Yes, if you are replacing your vehicle's struts. However, it is not necessary to get your vehicle aligned when replacing your vehicle's shocks unless there was or is a previous issue.
