This Unity rear shock absorber carries part number 251030 and is built as a twin-tube gas-charged unit for direct OE replacement. Unity Automotive backs the design with over 50 years of aftermarket manufacturing experience.

Fits 2003-2011 GM compact models

Questions about this item

Does the Unity 251030 rear shock absorber require any special tools for installation on a 2007 Pontiac G5?

The product is a direct replacement for OE shocks and is designed for trouble-free installation, so standard suspension tools are sufficient.

Will the Unity 251030 work with the original front struts on a 2008 Saturn Astra?

Yes, this rear shock absorber replaces the OE rear unit only and functions independently of the front suspension components.

How can I verify the Unity 251030 twin-tube gas-charged shock is performing correctly after fitting it to a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt?

Check for smooth damping over bumps, no fluid leaks, and that the vehicle sits level at the rear with normal ride height restored.
