For 2004 and later remove the right side engine cover, right and left rear engine covers, and strut brace on the ground keeping the vehicle on the ground. Then remove the wheel, loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle up (you'll need to) and securely support on jack stands. Spread some engine oil around the rubber o-ring sealing the shaft and support the lower control arm using a floor jack, then remove the damper fork-to-shock absorber pinch bolt and the damper fork-to-lower control arm bolt to pry the fork away from the shock absorber using a gentle tap if required. Remove the upper mounting nuts while an assistant supports the shock absorber and coil spring assembly, and carefully work the unit out from the fenderwell.

Position the lower end of the shock absorber into the damper fork, feed the aligning tab into the slot and attach the damper fork to the lower control arm with a fresh damper fork nut on the damper fork bolt. Put the floor jack under the lower control arm as if it were at normal ride height, tighten the damper fork pinch bolt and damper fork to lower control, arm bolts/nut to the specified torque, and remove the floor jack. Lower the vehicle, install the wheel, and lug nuts and tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque. Lastly, reinstall the engine covers and engine strut brace and tighten up all the upper mounting nuts to the specified torque.

Acura TL Shock Absorber

The Acura TL Shock Absorber is responsible for keeping the sedan steady by smoothing out bumps and controlling body motion. Mounted next to the coil spring or as part of a strut assembly, the Shock Absorber converts the suspension movement into heat via a piston moving hydraulic fluid and prevents the car from bouncing, diving, or rolling. Across the TL line, twin-tube hydraulic dampers have been applied as the standard Shock Absorber, occasionally pressurized with nitrogen gas to reduce foaming and maintain comfort in day-to-day driving. Performance-oriented versions have upgraded to mono-tube units going down a Shock Absorber style with a larger piston and separate gas chamber for faster heat shedding for crisper handling. Both types have the same intention, but the mono-tube makes the Acura driver experience a more uniform damping force during spirited driving, while the twin-tube is suitable for routine driving. Front strut assemblies on every Acura TL combine the Shock Absorber with a coil spring seat and upper mount so that replacement of a complete unit refreshes worn bearings, rubber insulators, and the spring itself in a single step. Regular inspection around 50,000 miles helps Acura owners spot leaks, harsh ride, or cupped tires that are indicative of a tired damper before it compromises TL stability.

We provide a broad range of OEM Acura TL Shock Absorber at unbeatable prices on our website. For your OEM parts, You can count on the guaranteed quality, manufacturer's warranty, outstanding customer service, and prompt delivery. We look forward to your visit.
