Customer Q&A - Gabriel 43181

Ask A Question

Can shocks be adjusted to level rear from left to right. Is now 1/2 inch lower on pas side

Asked January 19, 2019

Jim

The Gabriel Spring Assist shocks do not have any adjustments. If you are having an issue with one side of a vehicle sagging there may be an issue with one of the vehicle's springs and it is not advised to use these to remedy the effects of a worn or broken spring.

Which end goes up?

Asked June 4, 2015
