Hotchkis 68-74 GM X Body Nova/Apollo 1.5 Street Performance Series Aluminum Shocks - Rear

When you're looking to improve the handling and ride quality of your 1968-1974 GM X-Body vehicle, like your Chevrolet Nova or Buick Apollo, these Hotchkis 1.5 Street Performance Series rear shock absorbers are a solid option. They are designed to give you a smoother ride while also providing better control, especially when you're pushing the car a bit. You get a pair of these shocks, which are built with a lightweight, smooth-bore aluminum body and feature advanced mono-tube technology for consistent performance.

Inside, these shocks use digressive disc technology and a high-flow piston with specially formulated oil and high-pressure nitrogen. This setup helps them perform reliably across different temperatures and conditions, giving you a more comfortable ride and improved vehicle control. The shafts are 1/2-inch, hard chrome-plated, and heat-treated alloy, which have been tested for durability. To keep contaminants out, they use a dual seal wiper/scraper on the rod guide. The end caps are made from black anodized 6061-T6 billet aluminum and come with polyurethane bushings, and the CNC machined cross bars ensure a direct fit. They even include vehicle-specific mounting hardware, making installation straightforward.
