  • Shock absorber

    A suspension damper that controls spring oscillation after the wheels cross a bump and helps maintain tire contact and road control. Paruzzi’s front oil-filled listing is for Vanagon/T25 except Syncro, and the catalog lists Syncro dampers separately. “Shock absorber” describes a function, not a complete fitment; front/rear position and Syncro configuration matter.

  • Front shock absorber

    A component that absorbs shock and stabilizes the vehicle's front suspension

  • Front shock absorber bolts

    Bolts that secure the front shock absorber in place

  • Front shock absorber dust cap

    A cap that covers and protects the front shock absorber from dust and debris

  • Shock rod

    A rod that connects the shock absorber to the suspension system

  • Spring tower

    A component that supports the spring and shock absorber

  • Sport Suspension

    Suspension system with lowered body and coordinated springs, shock absorbers, and anti-roll bars
