What is this part and why does it matter?

The rear shock absorber (damper) controls the rate at which the rear suspension compresses and rebounds, keeping the tyre in contact with the road and providing a controlled ride.

Signs of a faulty part

If you notice any of the following, the part likely needs replacement:

  • Excessive bouncing after hitting a bump
  • Rear end swaying or wallowing during cornering
  • Fluid leak visible on the shock body
  • Uneven or cupped tyre wear

Installation information

Always torque mounting bolts to the specified value — a spring compressor may be needed depending on the suspension design.

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.
