You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 6L3Z-18124-JH fits your vehicle.

To assess the condition of shock absorbers, follow these steps: Park the vehicle on level ground, turn off the engine, and set the parking brake. Check tire pressures to ensure they are at the recommended levels. Push down on each corner of the vehicle and observe its movement and rebound. Properly functioning shock absorbers should bring the vehicle to a rest in a level position within one or two bounces. Repeat this check for all four corners of the vehicle. While the vehicle is raised on jackstands, inspect the shock absorbers for fluid leakage and ensure they are securely mounted and undamaged. If fluid leakage is detected, replace the shocks as a set.

Inspect the shock absorber, coil spring, and spring seats for any damage or wear. If necessary, have the unit serviced by a qualified repair shop or replace it.

Remove the nut and bolt that secure the lower end of the shock absorber to the rear axle.
