Is Your Patrol’s Suspension Failing? Here’s How to Tell

Your Nissan Patrol Y61’s shocks are overdue for replacement if you notice:

1. Excessive Body Roll: Leaning more than 15° on sharp turns? Worn shocks can’t control weight transfer.
2. Bottoming Out: A “clunk” over dips means the shocks no longer absorb impacts.
3. Fluid Leaks: Wet spots on the shock body indicate seal failure—replace immediately.
4. Delayed Rebound: Push down on the fender; if the truck bounces more than twice, shocks are shot.

HPR’s 2-inch lift shocks for the Patrol include an adjustable panhard rod to correct axle offset after lifting, a common issue with stock setups. The 10-stage compression adjuster (yes, 10—not just 8!) lets you fine-tune for heavy towing (stiffen to 8/10) or solo trail runs (soften to 4/10). Made with aircraft-grade aluminum, they’re 30% lighter than steel shocks but built to handle 3,000+ lbs of payload.
