Do I need new mounting hardware to install this?

Factory mounting points accept the OEM shock hardware. Check your existing fasteners for wear before install—replace any corroded or stripped bolts. Torque specs are in your service manual.

Will this work if I've lowered or lifted my suspension?

This shock is engineered for factory ride height and geometry. If your suspension has been modified, test-fit first to confirm clearance and proper damping response before full installation.

Should I replace both front shocks at once?

Yes. Shocks wear as a pair—replacing only one side creates uneven suspension response and compromises handling. Install both fronts together for balanced performance.
