You can Select Your Vehicle to check if HG9Z-18125-M fits your vehicle.

If the front suspension shock absorber/coil springs exhibit signs of wear (such as leaking fluid, loss of damping capability, sagging, or cracked coil springs), they should be disassembled and overhauled as necessary. The shock absorbers themselves cannot be serviced and should be replaced if faulty; the springs and related components can be replaced individually. To maintain balanced characteristics on both sides of the vehicle, the components on both sides should be replaced at the same time.

The manufacturer recommends replacing all fasteners with new ones during installation.

Maneuver the shock out of the vehicle. If new shocks are to be installed, swap the bracket to the top of the new shock.

Push down on one corner of the vehicle and release it, observing the body's movement, which should come to rest in a level position within one or two bounces. Any continued up-and-down movement or failure to return to the original position may indicate worn or weak shock absorbers.
