If your original Shock / Strut is surrounded by a Coil Spring, replacing just the bare cartridge may require a Coil Spring Compressor to safely remove and reuse the spring and mount (not included) from your original assembly.
Gabriel Guardian twin-tube shock absorbers are aftermarket-engineered for an OE like performance. Like all Gabriel shocks and struts, Guardian shocks feature a super-finished chromed piston rod, which provides superior corrosion resistance to competitors' nitrocarburized piston, and a leak-proof piston seal which extends product life. Guardian shocks provide high-quality performance at an affordable price, while providing superior response and consistent control.
