A strut is a structural part of the vehicle’s suspension system, while a shock is a tube designed to absorb impacts from the road while the vehicle is in motion. **Q: Do I need different shocks or struts for front, rear, left or right applications?** A: Yes. It’s important to choose the correct shock or strut for the location in the vehicle. **Q: Should I have my vehicle aligned after replacing my shocks or struts?** A: You should have your vehicle aligned after replacing struts. However, if you’re only replacing shocks, it is not necessary unless there was a previous issue. **Q: Can bad shocks affect tire wear?** A: Yes. Shocks keep wheels stable with their contact on the road. If the shocks are worn, they can cause uneven wear, cupping or scalloping in tires. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Give me a lift ! *by M***N on July 26, 2025* Installed these on the rear of a 1965 Chevy Malibu.

Also brought the ride height right back up to where it was supposed to be. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well it lifted the back end about an inch. *by D***R on November 7, 2022* Well I lucked out and the factory shocks came out easy. Glad these were notched, it made the install easier due to the placement of the bolt and nut on the inside frame rail. Car rides alot better and even lifted the rear about an inch or so. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/20283751-acdelco-gold-519-3-88946562-rear-spring-assisted-shock-absorber](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/20283751-acdelco-gold-519-3-88946562-rear-spring-assisted-shock-absorber) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
