The front shock absorber (damper) controls the rate at which the front suspension compresses and rebounds, keeping the tyre in contact with the road and providing a controlled ride.
If you notice any of the following, the part likely needs replacement:
Excessive bouncing after hitting a bump
Nose-diving heavily under braking
Fluid leak visible on the shock body
Uneven or cupped tyre wear
Installation information
Requires a spring compressor if replacing as part of a full strut assembly — always torque mounting bolts to the specified value.
Frequently asked questions
Without proper damping, the tyre bounces rather than maintaining consistent contact with the road, which wears the tread unevenly, often in a cupped or scalloped pattern.
Super good! They came through with the part I needed, quickly and at a fair price! Thanks, and I definitely recommend!

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
