Installation notes
The shock absorber is fitted with cotter pins through the eyes. Use a grommet compressor tool to compress the rubber bushing whilst inserting the cotter pin. Check the fixing washers (special thick washers) during installation.

Historical context
The CJ-3A (1949-1953) and CJ-3B (1953-1968) were the first post-war civilian jeeps to be supplied as standard with hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers, often by Monroe. These modern dampers offered considerably more comfort than the simple systems fitted to wartime jeeps.
