AUTOMUTO Shock Absorber Kit for 1990–1997 Ford Ranger — 4-Piece Front & Rear Direct-Replace Shocks

AUTOMUTO front and rear shock absorbers are a four-piece direct-replacement kit designed to restore ride control and handling for 1990–1997 Ford Rangers and compatible 1994–1997 Mazda B-series trucks.

This complete set of four shocks (front and rear) is manufactured to match OE mounting points and fitment specifications for older Ford Ranger models and several Mazda B-series trucks. The kit carries reference OE numbers for ease of cross-checking and is supplied as new shock units only—springs, mounts, rubbers, and bushings are not included. Because these parts are replacements for classic truck models, confirm your vehicle year, make, model, trim, and engine before ordering to ensure a correct match.

How do these shocks affect ride and handling on older trucks?

Replacing worn shocks with a properly matched set improves stability, reduces excessive bounce, and helps maintain steering control during braking and cornering. They restore damping performance closer to factory behavior without altering suspension geometry.

• Reduces nose dive and rear squat under load or braking
• Helps tires maintain better contact with the road for predictable handling
