Frequently Asked Questions 

Q: Why are these shock absorbers necessary?
They cushion the rack and bikes from road vibrations and bumps, preventing metal fatigue and wear in both rail and frame mount areas.

Q: Are these part of regular wear-and-tear?
Yes, rubber materials age over time. If you notice excessive movement or jolting during use, these are usually the first parts to check.

Q: How do I replace them?

• Remove the worn shock absorber from beneath the rail

• Insert the new red rubber unit and pad in the same position

• Use the provided pop rivets to secure it in place

Q: Can I just replace one, or do they need to be changed in pairs?
Always replace both at once. It ensures even suspension and avoids unbalanced wear, which could put strain on adjacent parts
