Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
- Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT / SRT8 WK2 with matching electronic rear shocks (2012-2021)
- 2022 Grand Cherokee applications require VIN and body-generation confirmation before ordering
Product Overview
A leaking rear shock, harsh ride, repeated bounce, or suspension warning can leave an SRT feeling unsettled even when the springs and tires look fine. Replacing both rear dampers together helps keep left and right response balanced after electronic wiring and suspension joints are inspected.
The 2022 model year includes different Grand Cherokee generations, so the original marketplace title's 2012-2022 range is not safe by itself. Match VIN, body generation, option code, connector, mount, length, and original shock number. These are shocks, not Quadra-Lift air springs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do these fit a standard Grand Cherokee without SRT suspension? A: Not automatically. The electronic connector, damping system, mounts, and option codes must match.
Q: Are these air struts? A: No. They are electronically controlled shock absorbers and do not replace Quadra-Lift air springs.
Q: Why replace both rear shocks? A: Paired replacement helps keep damping response consistent across the axle.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
