Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a monotube and a twin-tube shock?

Both restore the vehicle’s originally designed handling, but they use different internal construction; FCS offers monotube shocks, twin-tube shocks, struts, and cartridges depending on the application.

Do I need to buy a separate spring and mount with a bare strut?

Yes, bare struts and shocks replace just the damper itself, so they’re meant for jobs where the spring, mount, and other components are being reused or replaced separately.

What makes the piston rod resistant to corrosion?

The mirror-finished, hard-chrome OE-style piston rod is built for corrosion resistance and a leak-free seal.

Why use Freudenberg NOK seals?
These OE-grade seals are designed to perform reliably even in extreme temperature swings, helping the shock hold up over time.
Will this fit both domestic and import vehicles?
Yes, coverage spans domestic and import cars, trucks, vans, minivans, and SUVs.
What's the benefit of nitrogen gas charging in a bare shock?
It reduces aeration and shock fade, improving tire-to-road contact for better ride and handling.
