Troubleshooting & FAQ
How can I confirm this shock absorber fits my specific vehicle?
Check your vehicle's model, year, and engine type against the "Engine & Model Compatibility" table. For 100% certainty, compare the OEM part numbers (20365FJ030, 20365FJ031) listed with the number on your current shock absorber.
What are the signs of a failing shock absorber?
Common symptoms include a bouncy or unstable ride, cupped or uneven tire wear, nose-diving during braking, vehicle body roll in turns, and visible fluid leaks from the shock body.
Should I replace shocks in pairs?
Yes, it is highly recommended to replace shock absorbers in pairs (both front or both rear) to ensure even damping performance, vehicle stability, and predictable handling.
How is this different from the original Subaru part?
This is an aftermarket component designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications. It offers comparable performance and fitment but may feature updated valving technology to compensate for wear on other suspension parts, potentially improving upon the original ride quality.
What is the recommended replacement interval?
While this unit is backed by a 36-month / 100,000 km warranty, shock absorber lifespan varies by driving conditions. A general guideline is to have them inspected every 80,000 km (50,000 miles) and replaced as needed.
