How To Choose The Correct Gabriel Shock Absorber

FAQ – Gabriel Shock Absorbers
Do I need to replace shock absorbers in pairs?
Yes. Replacing shocks in axle pairs helps keep handling balanced and prevents uneven braking and tyre wear.
How do I confirm front vs rear?
Check the product listing fitment position. If uncertain, send a photo of the old unit and your VIN for confirmation.
What information should I use to match fitment?
Use model, engine code, and year range. Where applicable, confirm drivetrain (4x2 or 4x4) and any suspension notes.
Will a shock absorber fix knocking noises?
Sometimes, but knocking is often caused by worn mounts, bushes, or links. It is best to inspect related suspension components during replacement.
