Shock first, then check your stabilizer. Add stabilizer as needed.
They both have the same job, the only thing difference is their application. The "shock" dampens continued vibrations from the springs while the "stabilizer" dampens the "shimmy" that the front tires cause.
Never saw a shock on a sway bar. A shock mounted to the steering linkage would be a steering stabilizer.
No, pool shock is normally a really strong chlorine and stabilizer is like sunscreen for the chlorine
check your tires for a belt seperation. check steering stabilizer shock if equipt. if braking, check for warped rotors.
If its shaking side to side could be a tire out of balance or maybe a mechanical issue (wheel bearing, alignment, etc). Probably not a safety issue, but it can wear the tires out prematurely which can be expensive. Warped brake rotors are the most likely cause if the steering wheel only shakes when applying the brakes.
Just shock absorbers - 2 on the front - 2 on the rear ( and there is a smaller " shock absorber " that is angled , it's used to stabilize the differential - when the dealership changed my 4 shocks on my 1995 they did not suggest that I have that one changed also )
Shock Front was created on 1999-11-22.
Check the suspension and steering assembly for loose/worn parts, such as ball joints, tie rod ends, idler arm, pitman arm, steering stabilizer (if equipped), steering box, wheel bearings, shock absorbers, wheel balance, tires and wheels. Replace any bad parts and have the front end aligned.
( 2 ) shock absorbers on the front suspension and ( 2 ) shock absorbers on the rear suspension ( and if it's the same as my 1995 Ford Explorer there is a short " shock absorber " that is sideways connected to the rear differential that I didn't bother having changed )
when shock absorber's have been changed do you need to realign the wheels
badly worn shock absorbers get them changed quick
