The main function of shock absorbers is to cut out the oscillations cause by the suspension springs so that the the ride will remains almost free from lateral movements.

Oh Ok. But my is gas. .

 

Gas means it has oil and pressurized nitrogen pumped into it. It couldn't function with gas alone. Let us know if it cured the rocking boat symptom after the mechanics are done.

Thailand made really cannot make it man. My family honda Ody uses it now and maybe because the car longer the boat effect magnify. The pair of rear installed is oil one if I rem correctly.Now the car left with 3 yr not sure should I change a pair or live with it.
